As you already noticed, I love drinking tea, and last week I talked about the history of tea in the UK. But if you're not sure about tea or think you might not like it, don't worry. I'm here to introduce you to different types of tea. I'm sure we can find one you'll really enjoy. And, of course, I'll show you how to make a British cuppa.
By the way, you can say 'a cuppa' instead of 'a cup of tea.' People in some places use it a lot. For example, someone might say, 'When I'm tired, I enjoy having a cuppa to relax.'

Ok, let's start!
In the UK, people enjoy drinking many different kinds of tea. However, the most popular tea in the UK is black tea.
Black Tea: People often put milk and sometimes sugar in it. Some famous black teas are English Breakfast Tea, Earl Grey, Lady Grey, Assam, and Darjeeling.
Green Tea: is not as popular as black tea in the UK, but some people like it. It's healthy and comes from Japan and China.
Herbal teas, such as peppermint and chamomile, are caffeine-free and come in various flavors. People enjoy them because they can have a calming effect. Fruit Chai Chai tea has spices like cinnamon and ginger. Trust me, it's delicious when you add milk and sugar.
White Tea: isn't as standard, but some people enjoy it. It's light and has a subtle taste.
Oolong Tea: is like black and green tea. And it comes in different flavors.
Rooibos Tea: is a caffeine-free tea from South Africa. It has a gentle, sweet, and earthy taste, often with hints of vanilla or honey.
In the UK, you can also find specialty blends; teas with unique flavors like flowers, spices, and much more.
