Black tea, usually sweetened with sugar, jams, or fruits, is the standard. It’s served hot in winter and even in the record-breaking temperatures they experienced this past summer. A cup of tea usually has about 1-3 teaspoons of sugar or other sweetener per cup and lemon (but not milk), and a selection of pastries (pies, crêpes, or pancakes), sweets, etc. While black tea is the most common, green tea is becoming more popular due to the impression that it is a more healthy and “Oriental” style.

She then begins to cheep: "Come see me in my golden keep!"
