READING COMPREHENSION

Tea-Where Do People Drink it Most

The English people are famous for their tea-drinking habit. In China, Japan and Vietnam, the art of tea drinking is frequently mentioned. India produces a green tea which is well-known all over the world.

However, according to statistics of the International Tea Committee, these Asian countries are not in the list of highest tea consuming countries.

And the English people only ranked second with an annual average of 1,148.4 cups of tea per head. Ireland ranks first with 1,416.8 cups/person/year.

Could it be that people in Ireland and Britain drink tea more often due to their famous fog? Nevertheless, the consumption level is not low in hot Middle-East areas such as Qatar (1,012 cups/person/year), Turkey (941.6), Iran (765.6) and Kuwait (743.6). In contrast, in Thailand, the people rarely drink tea: 4.4 cups per person per year.
