Look at this picture.It’s the London Tea Trade Centre.As you can see,it is on the north bank of the River Thames.It is the centre of an important industry in the everyday life of the British people.Tea is the British national drink.Every man,woman and child over ten years of age has an average of four cups a day,or some one thousand five hundred cups annually.About 30 percent of the world’s export of tea makes its way to London.And Britain is by far the largest importer of tea in the world.

Now in the second picture,you can see how tea is tasted in the Tea Trade Centre before it is sold.Here,different types of tea are tasted by skilled tea-tasters before they are sold at each week’s tea sale.It’s amazing to see them at work!Over a hundred kinds of tea are laid out in a line on a long table.The tasters generally taste tea with milk,since that is how the majority of British people drink their tea.The tasters move down the line with surprising speed,tasting with a spoon and deciding what is a fair price for each tea.
