A. If you ask a British person what could be regarded as the most significant symbol of England and “Englishness”, hundreds of thousands of people may answer that a cup of tea is the thing they cherish most about England. A cup of tea is something that represents a bit of English culture, its history, the English way of life.

B. English people say jokingly: “Seven cups of tea will wake you up in the morning; nine cups will put you to sleep at night. If you are hot, tea will cool you off, and if you are cold, it will warm you up. If you are depressed, it will cheer you up; if you are excited, it will calm you down.” If you’ve just suffered a misfortune in England and you call on a friend, you’re likely to be told, “Oh well, just sit down and I’ll make you a nice cup of tea!”

C. Tea originated in China and appeared in Britain in the late 1500s. But then it was only for the very rich. A pound of the cheapest tea cost about one-third of a skilled worker’s weekly wage! It became cheaper about three centuries later, when it was planted in India and later in Ceylon (Sri Lanka). People from all social classes started drinking it. But some people thought that too much tea was bad for your health. So they started putting milk in it, to make it healthier!

D. Afternoon tea in England is a small meal! Now most families in Britain don’t have time for afternoon tea, but in the past it was a tradition. It is said that the fashion of afternoon tea was introduced in the early 1800s by the 7th Duchess of Bedford.

E. Afternoon tea quickly became popular, and rich ladies started inviting their friends to their houses for a five-o’clock cup of tea. The guests were offered sandwiches (without crusts!), cakes, biscuit and sometimes fruit. Soon everybody was enjoying this exciting new meal.

F. But the British working population did not have afternoon tea. They had a meal at about midday, and a meal after work, between five and seven o’clock. This meal was called “high tea”, or just “tea”. Some families in the north of England (and in Scotland, too!) still have “high tea”. It’s a big meal with a main dish — meat or fish — followed by bread and butter and cakes. And, of course, you drink lots of cups of tea!

G. Most people today use teabags to make tea, but some serious drinkers make tea in the traditional way. First, the water is boiled. Then some of the boiled water is used to warm the teapot. Then the tealeaves are put in the teapot. Then the boiling water is added. Then the pot is left for 5 minutes under a “tea cosy”. Finally, the tea is served in delicate cups with saucers.
