Clue #2: Tea time




How much do I love a place where people appreciate the importance of tea? 







Tea is a popular beverage in all four countries Fluffy and I visited this summer.  In fact, we were offered tea and snacks every afternoon!  Think about countries where tea is an important tradition (and other countries that might have been influenced by those countries). 

The photo of Fluffy at the top of this post was taken in a fifth country, where I spent the day waiting for my next plane.  If you look closely, you'll see that the brand of tea provided in that country was Twinings.  However, in the countries where Fluffy spent the rest of our trip, the brand we saw most was Five Roses.  Click on the photo and take a closer look at the tea aisle in a grocery store we visited!  Wowee!  Clearly, we were in a good place . . . We also enjoyed drinking a delicious herbal "tea" that is not made from the Camellia sinensis but instead from Aspalathus linearis (I'll let you look that one up on your own!).

Think about this new information, combined with what you learned in Clue #1.
Are you getting closer to solving the mystery
Remember, you'll need to identify all four countries.  More clues to come!
