Few people would refuse a cup of tea, because in addition to being pleasant, the drink is very useful. But five countries around the world are true fans of tea, celebrating the highest consumption.
China
The Chinese drink tea at any time of the day - along with breakfast, lunch, dinner and between meals. Many people in the country even use the drink as a substitute for water.
According to a legend, the Chinese emperor was the first person to try tea. History says that in 2737 BC, a leaf accidentally fell into Shen Hoon's boiled water, and he really liked the end result.
India
India is the second country in the world to drink tea in really large quantities. Indian breakfast and dinner are traditionally accompanied by tea, and even use the drink in medicine.
Tea began to be widely cultivated in the country only after the British colonizers settled in these territories, and until then it grew in the wild without being consumed.
Japan
In the land of the rising sun, drinking tea has become a cult and even a special tea ceremony has been organized, which is influenced by Zen Buddhism.
In the past, the tea ceremony was popular only among the military aristocracy of Japan and was organized to achieve complete peace with oneself.
Kenya
The first tea crops in Kenya did not appear until 1903, and today the country is the largest exporter of black tea. The drink in the African country must be served with milk and sugar.
Great Britain
The fifth largest consumers of tea in the world are the British. The drink is a favorite for most of the inhabitants of the Island, as they prefer it in combination with milk. According to studies, only 2% of Britons drink their tea without adding fresh milk.
