Laura: The tea smells good. What tea is it?
Benjamin:It's a special green tea named Longjing Tea from Zhejiang province.
Laura:What's special about it except its pleasant smell?
Benjamin:You can see that it keeps the original color of the tea leaves very well.
Laura:They must have some special methods to do this during the process.
Benjamin:Probably. I love green tea. It's one of my daily necessities.
Laura:Then, do you have “tea time” every day? I mean, do you drink tea at a settled time?
Benjamin:Not really. But I really love to have after-meal tea.
Laura:What's the advantage about tea?
Benjamin:There are a lot of them. In hot or warm days, tea helps to dispel the heat and brings on an instant cool with a feeling of relaxation. Moreover, the tea leaves contain a number of chemicals which are good for people's health.
Laura:Does that mean the stronger the better?
Benjamin:No. Constant drinking of over-strong tea would do harm to people's health. So don't make your tea too strong.
Laura:Got it. What's the proper time for tea?
Benjamin:It's fine for most time of the day. But don't have tea before bedtime.
Laura:Why?
Benjamin:It will give rise to occasional insomnia. OK, let's enjoy the tea before it gets cold.

罗拉：这茶真好闻。是什么茶呢？
本杰明：这是一种特殊的绿茶，名叫龙井茶，来自浙江省。
罗拉：除了清新的香味，它还有什么特别的吗？
本杰明：你可以看到它很好地保持了茶叶原来的颜色。
罗拉：他们一定是在生产过程中用了特殊的方法。
本杰明：很有可能。我喜欢绿茶。它是我日常的必需品。
罗拉：那么，你每天有喝茶的时间吗？我是想问，你会在固定的时间喝茶吗？
本杰明：那倒不是。不过我特别喜欢在饭后喝茶。
罗拉：茶的好处是什么？
本杰明：这可多了。在天热的时候，茶可以驱热，立刻会带来一种凉爽而轻松的感觉。而且，茶叶中含有很多有益于人体健康的化学成分。
罗拉：那是不是茶泡得越浓就越好呢？
本杰明：不是。常喝过浓的茶对身体有害。所以别把茶泡得太浓了。
罗拉：知道了。喝茶的适当时间是什么时候？
本杰明：一天中大多数时间都可以。但是睡觉前别喝茶。
罗拉：为什么？
本杰明：那会增大偶然失眠的几率。好了，我们快喝茶吧，别等它凉了。
