Anger is the broader term,                   denoting a keen sense of disapprobation (usually with                   a desire to punish) for whatever we feel to be wrong,                   whether directed toward ourselves or others.                   Resentment is anger exicted by a sense of personal                   injury. It is, etymologically, that reaction of the                   mind which we instinctively feel when we think                   ourselves wronged. Pride and selfishness are apt to                   aggravate this feeling until it changes into a                   criminal animosity; and this is now the more common                   signification of the term. Being founded in a sense of                   injury, this feeling is hard to be removed; and hence                   the expressions bitter or implacable resentment. See                   {Anger}.                               Anger is like A full-hot horse, who being                            allowed his way, Self-mettle tires him. --Shak.                               Can heavently minds such high resentment show,                            Or exercise their spite in human woe? --Dryden.

Tea \Tea\, n. [Chin. tsh[be], Prov. Chin. te: cf. F. th[82].]       1. The prepared leaves of a shrub, or small tree ({Thea, [or]             Camellia, Chinensis}). The shrub is a native of China, but             has been introduced to some extent into some other             countries.          Note: Teas are classed as green or black, according to their                color or appearance, the kinds being distinguished also                by various other characteristic differences, as of                taste, odor, and the like. The color, flavor, and                quality are dependent upon the treatment which the                leaves receive after being gathered. The leaves for                green tea are heated, or roasted slightly, in shallow                pans over a wood fire, almost immediately after being                gathered, after which they are rolled with the hands                upon a table, to free them from a portion of their                moisture, and to twist them, and are then quickly                dried. Those intended for black tea are spread out in                the air for some time after being gathered, and then                tossed about with the hands until they become soft and                flaccid, when they are roasted for a few minutes, and                rolled, and having then been exposed to the air for a                few hours in a soft and moist state, are finally dried                slowly over a charcoal fire. The operation of roasting                and rolling is sometimes repeated several times, until                the leaves have become of the proper color. The                principal sorts of green tea are Twankay, the poorest                kind; Hyson skin, the refuse of Hyson; Hyson, Imperial,                and Gunpowder, fine varieties; and Young Hyson, a                choice kind made from young leaves gathered early in                the spring. Those of black tea are Bohea, the poorest                kind; Congou; Oolong; Souchong, one of the finest                varieties; and Pekoe, a fine-flavored kind, made                chiefly from young spring buds. See {Bohea}, {Congou},                {Gunpowder tea}, under {Gunpowder}, {Hyson}, {Oolong},                and {Souchong}. --K. Johnson. Tomlinson.          Note: [bd]No knowledge of . . .

The Portuguese,                however, did little towards the introduction of the                herb into Europe, and it was not till the Dutch                established themselves at Bantam early in 17th century,                that these adventurers learned from the Chinese the                habit of tea drinking, and brought it to Europe.[b8]                --Encyc.
