Talk:History of tea

Geographic origins

this version was the last one that made sense. However, the first paragraph's reference was slightly off. And, apparently trying to fix it, someone broke things completely, putting everything from the end of the first paragraph until a small fragment at the end of the last paragraph inside a broken ref tag. Which subsequent editors continued to break further over the next two years, from duplicating the paragraph four times (well, at least it's as long as the original…) to changing the punctuation in the quoted text to attempt to make sense of the fragment.

Along with all the pointless changes, someone converted the quote into a blockquote, finally got the reference-footnote part right, and inserted an illustration, which all look good. So, I've taken the four paragraphs from the last sensible version, then applied those three changes to the first paragraph. --50.0.128.234 (talk) 00:58, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Greece Cyprus

the artcle says:]] "Throughout Greece and Cyprus Greek tea (Greek τσάι or tsai) is made with cinnamon and cloves." that is very wrong first of all we do call it τσαι but the correct term is αφεψημα (afepsima) it meas brewed (as an category) and we don't ever brew cinnamon or cloves

We do know and can find in stores Earl Grey tea but we don't favor it

we do prefer herbal tea so much we call it just tea. We were the first people that we started drinking: Salvia , Tilia , Reggano , Spearmint , Peppermint ,Jasmine ,Crete Melissa , Roses and Chamomile as teas and we still do. We were the ones that brought Chamomile and it's habit to the Scandinavian people but most often, we drink what we call Greek mountain tea : sideritis also known to us just as tsai Most Greek people can verify those things.

The history of tea spreads across multiple cultures over the span of thousands of years. With the tea plant Camellia sinensis native to East Asia and probably originating in the borderlands of southwestern China and northern Burma.
