I don't like tea. I can't believe it is the most commonly consumed beverage in the world after water.
Really? I love it! It's quite healthy for you! Do you know what's the healthiest kind?
I am not sure which is the healthiest, but it originated in Southwest China as a medical drink.
Cool. I believe the Guyokuro variety of green tea has some of the highest concentration of EGCG, a strong antioxidant molecule. I happen to be very passionate about tea ;)
It became a popular recreational drink during the Chinese Tang Dynasty.
Really? I did not know that. I heard India is also a big producer of tea. A popular variety there is Darjeeling. 
That time in China was regarded as a high point in their civilization.
Really? Do you know anything about Japanese teas? 
No I do not. I mostly know about the Chinese ones. Sorry.
It's okay! Id' love to visit China and participate in a tea ceremony. Each movement apparently is very specific and exact when they serve tea.
