  5. Got only four correct. Last question only had one choice to select from as the answer. Not sure if that was intentional but it gave me a correct answer. I’d have been left with only three right otherwise.

  21. I am addicted to tea…green, black, milk…all sorts. 11/12 ……I got the Portuguese traders century wrong. Wonderful quiz that has me craving for a cup of my favorite Moroccan mint tea 🙂

    • Oh yes it’s a while since I’ve had Moroccan sweet minty tea – thanks for reminding me! We as a nation are addicted to tea here, but always the black milky, and often sweet, variety 🙂

        • I (along with all of my country-men and -women) am totally addicted to the stuff. I need two strong cups of tea in the morning before my brain and body can function at all! There are many different kinds of tea, Gina, and maybe it is just one type whose smell offends you. Do Filipinos generally not drink tea at all?

          • Filipinos don’t normally brew their own tea and many don’t really enjoy the taste of freshly brewed black or green tea (or any kind of tea for that matter). Some health conscious Filipinos have been trying to drink green tea or slimming tea recently-but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they enjoy the taste. Filipinos enjoy coffee more than they do tea

          • That’s very interesting, Gina! I find it funny to imagine a whole nation (or a substantial part of one) disliking the smell of a particular drink 🙂 Especially when you think that tea is Asian and coffee Ethiopian by origin 😮
