In this way is q refreshing beverage.
Cream and sugar are usually served
with tea, or slices Of lemon with
whole cloves are liked by many. The
kind Of tea (black or green), which is
served depends upon the individual
taste. Black tea is a milder beverage
and contains less tannin than the
green. The distinction between black
and green tea is due to different meth
DDS Of preparation. as they both come
from the same plant
The peculiar stimulating properties
which tea possesses as well as It's
flavor depend upon the season OF the
year when the leaves are picked, the
age Of the leaf, the variety of the
plant and the care In preparation.
The aroma of tea Is often artit1cially
increased by the addition Of orange
flowers, jasmine or roses. Tea OF
young leaves, packed closely, are
smaller leaves, and spoonful makes
stronger beverage than that OF
coarser leaf.
The water used to make tea Is an,
other important feature 1t Is said
the water makes all the difference be-
tween the delightful cup of English
tea and the kind We have served on
| this side of the water We must not
give the water too much of the cred
it, for care in making is another i'm
portant factor to be considered.
Tea is mildly stimulating to the
nervous system, and helps to increase
the vital functions of some of the
organs. 1t has been called food
saver, as less food seems to be need

Thompson in his Dietetics says in
| recent report tea is mentioned as a
, contributing factor to insanity in Ire
land. Undoubtedly the method OF
preparation and the excessive use OF
this article of diet, now so general
among our poorer population, tends
to the production of dyspepsia, which
in turn leads to states of mental de-
