Let's have a break and drink a Turkish tea
From Turkish Tea; Tea is the national hot drink of Turkey - Any place, any time - it is time to drink black tea!
In Turkey, tea is not drunk from porcelain cups or mugs but in glass cups. There are two types of tea: "koyu cay", the strong one and "acik cay" the light one.
As Turkish tea is prepared by mixing tea and water you can order either of them. Although artificial, tourists love "elma cayi", an apple tea. More tea please

Tea Quotes: Lu Tung
"The first bowl sleekly moistened throat and lips,
The second banished all my loneliness
The third expelled the dullness from my mind,
Sharpening inspiration gained
from all the books I've read.
The fourth brought forth light perspiration,
Dispersing a lifetime's troubles through my pores."
-Lu Tung, Chinese Poet, On Drinking Tea

History of Tea
From Mark T. Wendell Tea Company; The tea story started in China around 2750 BC. During this time, the tea plant was found to have a number of medicinal properties. Legend says that an Emperor by the name of Shen Nung was sitting in the shade of a wild tea tree, boiling some drinking water, when a breeze blew a few leaves from the tree into the pot and gave the water a flavor that he found delicious. He experimented further and found it to have medicinal properties, as well as a pleasing flavor. He urged the Chinese people to cultivate the plant for the benefit of the entire nation. Over time, he has become the Legendary Father of Tea. Read full story
