Unit 34, a nice cup of tea. Could I offer you a cup of tea? Yes, thank you very much. What kind do you have? I have Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Irish Breakfast, and Darjeeling. Those are all black teas. Do you have any green tea? I'm sorry, I don't really like green tea. How could you not like green tea? It's so much easier to drink than black tea. I just don't think green tea tastes as good as black tea. Green tea has a simple flavor, but black tea has many kinds of flavors. Well, I don't taste many flavors when I drink black tea. It just tastes bitter to me. Then you should drink more black tea, because after drinking it for a while, you begin to appreciate its flavor. Whatever its flavor, black tea can't be nearly as healthy as green tea. I read about a study last week that showed people who drink green tea are less likely to get serious diseases like cancer or heart disease. Well, history tells us that in the past, good black tea has been considered more valuable than gold. Wars have been started over it. Really? Which wars? The American Revolution. The American Revolution had nothing to do with tea. One of the things that started the Revolutionary War was an incident where a group of Americans dumped a British shipment of tea into the ocean in Boston. This was called the Boston Tea Party, and it had nothing to do with green tea.
