48Passage – 11
The drink of Asia for hundreds of years, tea, is believed to have been
brought to Europe by the Dutch. Today, from the remotest corner of Ladakh
to Buckingham Palace, tea is synonymous with cheer.
It is rightly said that there will be no agreement on a perfect cup of
tea. Though for tea drinkers the brew is addictive, the preferred method of
preparation and taste differs from person to person and region to region.
Today many varieties of tea and tea brands are available in the
market. An innovation is the tea-bag that is easy, quick and less messy than
traditional ways of brewing tea. Green tea is popular in China and the Far
East. In Japan, the tea ceremony is a traditional way of greeting guests and is
a social occasion. Unlike the tea we are familiar with, green tea is not drunk
with sugar or milk. It is an olive-coloured liquid served in porcelain cups. In
Morocco, green tea is infused with freshly plucked mint.
Some scientists believe tea prevents tooth decay because it is a rick
source of fluoride. Tea is also a folk remedy for stomach upsets, flu and
diarrhoea. Research suggests that drinking tea reduces the risk of heart
disease and cancer and lowers cholesterol levels in the blood. A welcome
thought for inveterate tea-drinkers.
