Just tried to post link, apparently the page is blacklisted. A googling of 'tea consumers' revealed it to me however, first link. Website is named 'maps of world'.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.253.88.26 (talk) 01:01, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

message: Second place in the World? German Wikipedia places GB at 7th, but I don't know the source.
International liegt Großbritannien nur auf Platz 7 im Pro-Kopf-Verbrauch. Mit 3,2 Kilogramm pro Kopf und Jahr trinken die Iren mehr Tee als irgendein anderes Volk in Europa. Den höchsten Pro-Kopf-Verbrauch in Deutschland hat Ostfriesland mit stolzen 2,5 kg pro Jahr, gegenüber rund 250 g für ganz Deutschland. Das Teemuseum im ostfriesischen Norden (Niedersachsen) trägt diesem Rekord Rechnung.
Den größten Teeverbrauch pro Kopf auf der ganzen Welt hat allerdings Paraguay. Der durchschnittliche Bewohner von Paraguay hatte 1998 einen Verbrauch von 11,7 kg (Mate)-Tee pro Jahr, was 14,6 Tassen pro Bewohner und Tag entspricht.AlmostReadytoFly 13:53, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

text: I'm getting the impression that there are a lot of contradictory sources out there. One option would be to create a section on 'top tea-drinking countries' and hash it all out there, but I don't feel that that is terribly relevant to the 'culture' this article is supposed to be discussing. The important bit in relation to culture is that tea drinking is common - so rather than haggling over specific rankings, I propose any of these countries makes a more general statement about having 'one of the top per-capta consumtion in the world'.--Spyforthemoon 15:32, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  To join in very belatedly: There is currently a user-contributed image of "high tea" in a Sri Lankan hotel illustrating British tea drinking culture: this is rather confusing and I think unhelpful: (a) Sri Lanka is not Britain! (b) Although the hotel at which the photo was taken does describe this meal as "high tea" on its website/menu, the photo looks a lot more like an afternoon tea than a "working class" high tea (and the hotel offers it between 3 and 6pm, which is too early for high tea) ... (I have no idea about Sri Lanka, but I can anecdotally attest to cafes in the USA apparently thinking the "high" in "high" tea means "high falutin" and using it to describe offerings that are much more like afternoon teas or cream teas)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8109:440:8928:40DE:7323:12EE:228E (talk) 16:49, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: Organization of countries

message: After a pretty thorough work over of the page, I removed the contradiction tag - I think that had to do with the British 'high tea' vs. 'afternoon tea' &c. which now redirects to the Tea (meal) page where they are well explained. If this in fact meant something else, please post here so that can get sorted out as well.
I did add the 'no sources' tag, while there are some sources given here, they are few and far between. In my opinion, this area needs major work in this page.--Spyforthemoon 22:26, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I put the contradiction tag in because of the various countries given as highest per capita consumer. Having removed a reference to Ireland, the only country currently given as highest is Turkey (with its cite needed tag).AlmostReadytoFly 09:08, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Contradiction -> Sources needed

message: In most Czech written literature the the Netherlands are mentioned as the first nation to bring tea to (western) Europe, not the Portuguese. E.g., in Příběh Čaje (The Story of Tea) by Thomová et al., Argo, 2002 we find: "While Portuguese merchants were first to travel to China and Japan and meet tea, they did not recognise it as a marketable article. First stocks of tea to be brouht to Europe were bought around 1607 by Netherland merchants in Fujian province, China and presented in Holland in 1610..." (loose transaltion) Any references to support the Portuguese, credited in the article? --tbc 01:35, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree - I have improved this section somewhat. It was written almost in a first-person narrative style with personal idiosyncratic details. I think the writer may have got their indormation by watching old b&w comedy films about northern england.

message: Much of it is purely functional and must be similar in other countries. The previous text, before I tried to clean it up, read like a piece of satire, with its dogmatic specification of the exact movements to use when drinking tea from a saucer.

thread_title: Learning to drink tea from an empty cup

message: Can you answer me simple question? Why are you grouping Czech republic and Slovakia with Russia. These countries belong to central Europe, not Eastern. Actually, nothing can be more infuriating for Czechs than call them Eastern Europeans. For thousand years, Czechs belonged to Western civilization. They have always far more common with Austria and Germany than with Russia. Why are you still relying on this obsolete cold war era classification? 
Well, well, after more than half of year, nobody was able to answer me my question about czech and slovak belonging to Eastern Europe. Today I created section Central Europe in this article where I included Czech republic, Slovakia and Germany.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:718:1E03:DEEE:0:0:0:2 (talk) 12:31, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: To answer your question, (although it should probably be moved somewhere else on this page) the Czech Republic and Slovakia were grouped into Eastern Europe by the United Nations Statistics Division https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Statistics_Division and their division of Europe can be seen here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Europe_subregion_map_UN_geoschme.svg and it is their standards the wiki was probably following.
