Tea for two. Tea for me. Tea for you.  \nWith sugar or spice, yak butter or ice.  \nIn Teatime Around the World, a simple rhyming poem runs parallel to short passages of informational text about different tea traditions around the world.

She reflects on how tea has grown popular over the centuries and can now be found in all corners of the globe. As tea travelled, it has been adapted to reflect local customs and traditions, and to both unite cultures and demonstrate their glorious diversity.  \n3  \nABOUT THIS GUIDE  \nThese discussion questions and activities are designed to support students exploring Teatime Around the World, the themes presented in the book, and their own creativity.  \nDISCUSSION QUESTIONS  \n1.

Have you tried any of the different kinds of tea in Teatime Around the World? Are there any that you would you like to try? Why?  \n4. In the author’s note at the end of the book, Denyse Waissbluth says that her grandparents served tea to guests to welcome them. How do you make guests welcome?  \n5. Have you ever met someone from a different culture, or someone whose family seemed very different from your own? How did you get to know them? What did you learn?  \n4  \nBEFORE READING  \nThe following questions and activities build context and introduce the topics of the book, and establish prior knowledge and interest.  \n1.
