请以chinese tea 为题写一篇文章简单介绍中国茶叶的起源及发展

It is 4000 years since the Chinese began to grow and drink tea.

There’re many kinds of tea in China, of which Longjing Tea is famous all over the world.

Tea is usually drunk in tea sets. A tea set is made up of a tea pot and some teacups, which are both made of china.

Most Chinese are fond of drinking tea. Tea is served not only at tea

house and restaurants but also at home. People also drink tea during

breaks at offices or factories.

It has been discovered that

drinking tea does a lot of good to people’s health. A cup of tea can

make you relaxed and refreshed. And it’s said that green tea can prevent

cancers. That’s why tea is becoming more and more popular with people.

meal一般用来指一日的三餐，food是食物的统称，泛指各种食物。

如果是说，你喜欢吃中餐还是西餐，我认为这里重点在强调的是哪一类的食物，应该用Do you prefer Chinese food or Western food?

同理在问哪种茶，Do you like Chinese tea or British tea?

meal，如果你在指某一餐饭，而且这一餐饭是中餐，就用chinese meal.

eg. To prepare a Chinese meal is more work than to prepare a Western one.做中餐比做西餐费事。

For next Chinese meal, shall we eat Sichuan hotpot? 下一顿饭（中餐），我们吃四川火锅怎么样？

所以也看语境的。如果中餐馆，Chinese restaurant的菜单上，Chinese meals感觉更合适。如果是超市生鲜或零食分区的时候，Chinese food感觉更适合
