“你要茶还是要咖啡？”是用餐人常被问到的问题。许多西方人会选咖啡，而中国人则会选茶。相传，中国的一位帝王于五千多年前发现了茶，并用来治病。在明清(the Ming and Qing Dynasties)期间，茶馆遍布全国。饮茶在六世纪传到日本，但直到十七、十八世纪才传到欧美。如今，茶是世界上最流行的饮料(beverage)之一。茶是中国的民族饮品，也是中国传统和文化的重要组成部分。 “Tea or coffee? ” That’s a question often asked when people have a meal. Many westerners would choose coffee, while the Chinese would choose tea. Legend has it that tea was discovered by a Chinese emperor five thousand years ago, and was used to cure diseases. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, tea houses were all over the country. Tea drinking was introduced to Japan in the 16th century, but it was not until the 17th or the 18th century that it spread to Europe and America. Nowadays, tea is one of the most popular beverages in the world. It is not only the national beverage of China, but also an important part of Chinese tradition and culture. ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
