We drink tea every day. But more than 300 years ago most of the people in Europe did not know anything about tea. Some people had heard about it, but very few of them knew what to do with it.
There is a story about an English sailor (航海家). He went to countries in the east, the west and the south. He had been to India and China. One day he came home and brought some tea as a present for his mother. She told her friends about the present and asked them to a “tea party”. When her friends came to the “tea party”, the old woman brought out some tea leaves and asked them to eat. Of course, nobody liked the tea leaves.
At that time the sailor came in. He looked at the table and said, “Mother, what have you done with the tea?”
“I boiled it as you said.”
“And what did you do with the water?”
“I threw it away, of course. “answered the old woman.
“Now you may throw away the leaves, too.” Said her son.
