I had a little tea party / This afternoon at three. / ‘Twas very small – / Three guest in all – / Just I, myself and me. // Myself ate all the sandwiches, / While I drank up the tea; / ‘Twas also I who ate the pie / And passed the cake to me.

The British like a strong cup of tea with a liberal splash of milk; the Dutch a mild cup; the East Frisians add cream; on the subcontinent they cook their tea in milk; the Afghans like green tea but the Pakistanis black; the deep south of America drinks it iced; the Burmese eat is as a salad; the Tibetans mix it with butter… the list goes on. The only consistency is the bush that started it all: Camellia sinensis.
