findingthemojo no 284

Hello - who drinks the most tea in the world? well, it's not the English

  • according to Dan Lewis's Now I Know column: "the United Kingdom is widely regarded as a major consumer of tea, and while it is -- 1.9 kg per person, per year -- it's not in the top ten. Paraguay tops the list, at 11 kg of tea per person, annually, followed by Uruguay (9.3 kg) and Argentina (6.7 kg). The UK is 13th on the list, surrounded by the archipelago nation of Seychelles at #12 and Azerbaijan at #14" - (SA comes in @ no 65)
