Have a Tea Break

Tea met the English, probably in the Elizabethan era, charmed them, & became their friend at a break & chat. They are like us the Japanese; we are both the islanders & prefer tea to coffee. Sir. Philip Sidney, Elizabethan courtier, poet, & soldier for the Protestant, was also fascinated by tea:

Thank God for tea! What would the world do without tea! How did it exist? I am glad I was not born before tea.

お茶を与え給うた神に感謝しよう。お茶がなかったら世界はどうなっていただろう。どう存続しただろう。私はお茶のない時代に生まれなくて良かったと思う。

(フィリップ・シドニー)
