What kind of dring is often thought as a quintessentially British drink? This is tea of course that we have been drinking for over 350 years. But in fact the history of tea begins in China. According to legend, in 2737 BC, the Chinese emperor Shen Nung was sitting beneath a tree while his servant boiled drinking water, when some leaves from the tree blew into the water. Shen Nung, a renowned herbalist, decided to try the infusion that his servant had accidentally created. The tree was a Camellia sinensis, and the resulting drink was what we now call tea. Tea is an infusion made by steeping processed leaves, buds, or twigs of the tea bush, Camellia sinensis, in hot water for several minutes. The processing can include oxidation, heating, drying, and the addition of other herbs, flowers, spices, and fruits. The four basic types of true tea are black tea, oolong tea, green tea, and white tea. The term “herbal tea” usually refers to infusions or tisane of fruit or herbs that contain no Camellia sinensis.

Tea have taken a great role in our day by day life and it reflects in a great number quotes about tea.

Tea is drunk to forget the din of the world. ~T’ien Yiheng

There is a great deal of poetry and fine sentiment in a chest of tea. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson, Letters and Social Aims

Strange how a teapot can represent at the same time the comforts of solitude and the pleasures of company. ~Author Unknown

Each cup of tea represents an imaginary voyage. ~Catherine Douzel

I always fear that creation will expire before teatime. ~Sydney Smith

Drinking a daily cup of tea will surely starve the apothecary. ~Chinese Proverb

What is expected you in Edinburgh this June, which great events and cultural experiences? Edinburgh is a great city to step back in time not only for those who loved the connections of historic places and the cities great landmarks all huddled so close together, but to all who love to travel exploring new interesting places like a child just wonder these streets and soak up the history. Edinburgh is unique among Scotland’s cities which gives you the chance to let your imagination free, and travel back in time, to when these stones echoed with the shouts and clatter of medieval street life.

To really enjoy these streets and houses, walk the whole length of the Royal Mile, and then return, nosing in at little half hidden closes and alleyways. Coming back uphill its easy to slow down and ponder!!! The Tolbooth is on the left hand side, lower down the Royal Mile, towards Holyrood and close to the Edinburgh Museum and Peoples’ Story, both really interesting.
Edinburgh’s superb architecture ranges from ancient churches to monumental Victorian masterpieces - all dominated by a castle on a precipitous crag in the city’s heart. Pick any street to stroll - you’ll be wowed by sudden vistas of looming battlements, cold volcanic peaks and hills steeped in memory.
