Tea


Tea, in many variations and temperatures, is the most commonly drunk beverage in Japan. It was brought to Japan from China somewhere in the 700s. In the beginning it was a luxury item not available to all. A few hundred years later tea parties became all the rage and the famous tea ceremony has its origins in refined tea gatherings. Green tea is the most common in Japan and besides actual tea you can find many other food stuffs with a green tea flavored variety, such as ice cream and chocolate.

RatCat likes to drink tea to keep warm, to relax, or, before he had any friends, to feel less lonely.

Until tomorrow! =^o,,o^=
