But more than 400 years ago, most people in Europe(欧洲) did not know
anything about tea. Some had heard about it ,but very few knew what to do with
it.

English sailor(水手)who went to
countries all over the world. He had been to China
and India.
One day he came home and brought some tea as a present for his mother. She told
her friends about the present and invited them to a “tea party”.When her
friends came to the “tea party”,the old woman gave them brown tea leaves. Her friends began
to eat them of course, nobody liked the tea leaves. At that moment 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 have you done
with the water?”
“I poured it out, of
course.”answered the
mother.
