China has been drinking tea since 5,000 years ago. Britain’s relationship with tea is much shorter, ___1___

tea enjoys pride of place as the UK’s national drink. According to the UK Tea Council, British people drink a(n)

___2___ of three cups a day or a national total of 165 million cups every day.

With figures like ___3___ it is no surprise that time spent taking tea affects the working day in Britain. A recent survey ___4___ that 24 minutes a day are lost in making, buying and drinking tea and coffee. That is, £400 a year is lost in working hours per employee, or 190 days over a lifetime.

One argument is that caffeine ___7___ mental state: a drink of tea or coffee can make you active and focus on work.

Professor Rogers of the University of Bristol ___8___. After years of studying caffeine, he sees nothing can prove that. “Workers would perform equally well if not drinking it at all,” he says. “But if they’re often drinking it and then go without, they’ll feel ___9___ and won’t work well.”

Psychologist Cooper instead emphasizes the role tea breaks play in office life, and in ___10___ social relationships. “We need to make people more active and see other people. The tea break is one way of doing this,” says Cooper.

Whatever the caffeine’s doing, I’d say these 24 minutes aren’t wasted.”
