What Does a Drink Stand For?

I read a blog about tea. The writer asked, "What does a drink stand for?"

I always thought it was funny how Brits seem to solve every trouble with a cuppa. After I moved to Japan, I started drinking more tea and my perspective changed. Tea can also stand for personal ritual of contemplation, remembrance or taking a break. That's a big change from how I thought of tea when I lived in Canada. Tea was something to drink if I couldn't get coffee.
