The word beverage comes from the French word, meaning to drink. We drink to satisfy thirst and as thirst is the natural craving of the body for water, pure water should be a part of every one's daily diet. We have been so long accustomed to pleasing the appetite with the flavor of different kinds of bev- erages that we have almost lost sight of the fact that their chief value is in the water that they contain. Some of these flavoring materials, however, have a stimulating and refreshing effect and some have a slight food value. Tea, coffee, and cocoa are the most widely used beverages. TEA. History. Tea has been grown in China and Japan for more than 1,500 years, and, although it was not introduced into Europe 178 FOOD AND COOKERY until the seventeenth century, it is now used daily by more than half of the inhabitants of the world.
