Most people drink tea in the world. But tea does not mean the same thing to different people. In different countries, people have different ideas about drinking tea.

In China, for example, tea is often served when people get together. Chinese people drink it at home or in teahouses at any time of the day. They often use hot water to boil (煮) tea leaves.

Tea is also important in other Asian countries. People in these countries have a special way of serving tea. They hold a tea ceremony (仪式) in their houses when important guests come. It is very old and full of meaning. Everything must be done in a special way in the ceremony. There is even a special room for it in their houses.
