Many years ago tea was almost unknown in Europe, and most people had never even heard the word, despite its popularity in Eastern cultures. One day a young sailor returned to Great Britain from India. As the only son of an elderly woman, he always brought her a special gift from his travels, often choosing something unique to impress her friends. The sailor presented his mum a box of tea. Although the old woman was unfamiliar with it, she liked its pleasant aroma and quickly invited her friends over to try it. When her guests arrived, she welcomed them to the dining table, serving cakes, fruits, and, unknowingly, the tea leaves themselves. When the sailor entered the room, he saw a large plate filled with tea leaves. He couldn't help but smile as he watched his mother's friends trying to enjoy the leaves with butter and salt, though it was evident they were not pleased. "Where is the tea, Mother?" the sailor asked, puzzled. She pointed to the plate at the center of the table. "No, that's just the leaves, he corrected her, "Where is the water?"
