Tokugawa Tsunayoshi (February 23, 1646 - February 19, 1709) was the fifth shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate. The Tokugawa period, unlike the shogunates before it, was based on the strict class hierarchy originally established by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The warrior-caste of samurai were at the top, followed by farmers, artisans, and traders.

:: I prefer English Breakfast Tea ::
English Breakfast Tea is a Black Keemun tea from the Anhui region of China. As its name implies, English Breakfast tea is an ideal accompaniment to a morning meal. Prized for its full, malty flavor, and rich, dark color. This tea should be served hot with milk and a little sugar, but it is also delicious served with lemon. It can also be used to make iced tea. English Breakfast Tea has a fine leaf size for a faster brew time and better infusion.
Breakfast Tea was actually invented in Edinburgh, Scotland by a blender named Drysdale, in the 19th Century. Originally, it was made mainly from Chinese Keemun black tea which apparently tastes a little like toast when milk is added to it. Drysdale thought it would be a great idea to market this as Breakfast Tea.
Not wanting to be behind the Scots, those south of the border decided that they should also have Breakfast Tea and the concept soon spread to London. It was there in London that the teahouses added 'English' to the name of the blend and it became one of the most poplar teas in Britain.
