About tea:

Tea is a cheering drink. Now-a-days it is the most popular drink in the world. We get it from tea leaves. Tea grows well in the hilly places where rainwater cannot stand at all. Excessive rainwater is needed for the growth of tea plants. It grows in China,Japan, India and Bangladesh. In Bangladesh it grows well in the hilly areas of Sylhet and Chittagong. Tea plants grow from seeds. Seeds are sown in March. Seedlings are planted in rows in five feet apart. They are regularly pruned and allowed to grow only four or five feet high. When tea plants are four years of age,leaves are plucked three or four times a years. The leaves are first dried in the sun and roasted in fire. Thus the leaves are ready for use and sale.The preparation of tea is not hard task. At first water is boiled in a pot. Tea-leaves are put into boiling water. After three or four minutes it is poured into cups through a sieve. Then suger and milk is mixed with it.Thus it becomes a good drink. Tea is a useful drink to us.
