Good afternoon
dear friends! Welcome to our tea party! It’s common knowledge that the English
are very fond of tea. Do you know that they became tea-lovers thanks to women?
The first is Catherine of
Braganza, a Portuguese princess, wife of the English king Charles II. She was a
great lover of tea and made tea drinking a regular ceremony.
The second is Anna VII, Duchess
of Bedford. She started drinking "afternoon tea" that is known in all
languages as "five-o-clock". Until then, people did not usually eat
or drink anything between lunch and dinner. And one day the queen asked to
bring tea with cookies to the boudoir. Tea drinking at that time came in handy
and soon became a national tradition.
And the position of tea was
strengthened by Queen Victoria, who immediately after the coronation asked for
a cup of tea and a fresh issue of “The Times”.

Every country has its own tea – drinking habits. When tea
was first brought to England people didn’t know how it ought to be used. They
boiled the leaves and put them on a piece of bacon, and then ate them. Can you
imagine how tasty it was? No? You are welcome to see our drama “Tea Leaves”.

returned to Britain from a far-away country he brought her something unusual,
that she could show to her friends.
The
woman’s son appears.
Woman: My dear son, here you are! How are you? I was missing you
so badly!
Son: Hello mom. I’m fine, thanks. I’ve brought a nice present
for you.
Woman: Oh, how interesting! What is this?
Son: It’s a box of tea. It’s very popular in the East. It is
food.
Woman: But I don’t know how to cook it.
Son: Nothing particular. Just put tea leaves into the pot and
pour hot water into it. In five minutes it will be ready. Believe me, you’ll
enjoy it greatly.
Woman: What a flavouring smell. I’ll invite my friends to try
out what it is.
Story-teller: So the old woman cooked tea as her son had told her and

Woman: My son brought it from India yesterday. He said it
was very popular in the East. Help yourselves to tea leaves.
F3 (with the face showing unsatisfaction):
It’s very tasty, just fantastic.
F1 (putting leaves on a peace of bread): M… m… m… It’s
really lovely. The smell is so delicious.
Son (entering the room): Good afternoon to
everybody. I’m very pleased to meet you. And where is the tea, mom?
Woman (pointing to the dish): Over there.

not eaten. This is the infused water that is drunk
Woman: And I threw the water away, of course.

Today, tea
can be drunk at any time of day. The English like to have a nice cup of tea
from 6 to 8 times a day, sometimes even more: at the first breakfast and at
lunch, if they want - between breakfast and lunch and during the day, and five
o'clock in the evening, of course. Each time of the day corresponds to a
certain type of tea. The addiction to different varieties of tea at different
times has developed due to the flavor and aroma characteristics and properties
of tea. A strong tonic drink is best drunk in the morning such as “English
Breakfast” and “Irish Breakfast”. "Daytime" implies a harmonious
combination of strength and softness and in the middle of the day the English
prefer “English Tea No. 1”. For five o'clock tea “English Afternoon” is
suitable. And the soothing aroma of bergamot in “Earl Grey” or “Darjeeling” is
good in the evening.

The British
do not drink tea with lemon, calling it " Russian tea", but
"white tea", that is, with milk, they drink a lot and often. First,
cream or milk is poured into a cup, and only then - strongly brewed tea. The
explanation is simple: two hundred years ago, porcelain was so thin that they
were afraid to pour hot tea into it at once.

English
Breakfast tea traditionally used to be a blend of Chinese teas but these days
it is more a blend of Assam, Ceylon, and Kenyan teas. It is a tea that
is typically served with a full English breakfast which comprises egg,
bacon, sausage, mushroom, tomato, and fried bread. Toast and marmalade is also
quite typical. Breakfast tea is robust and full flavored. Breakfast tea is
often composed of a variety of tea leaves, resulting in distinctive flavors.
Served with different finger sandwiches.

Millions of
people in factories and offices look forward to their tea breaks in the morning
that is called «11s».
Cream tea in
British tea culture refers to a pot of tea served with scones, clotted cream,
and jam. It does not mean that cream is added to the tea. Traditionally,
the jam is strawberry, the cream is thick and dense, and both are piled high on
the scone. It takes some time to make and well worth it because an afternoon
tea is not complete without it.

Afternoon tea was introduced in England by
Anna. The Duchess asked that a tray of tea, bread and butter and cake be
brought to her room during the late afternoon. This became a habit of hers and
she began inviting friends to join her.
High tea, also known as “meat tea” is a
full meal. It refers historically to a full dinner eaten by working class
families right after returning from work, and by children who ate their dinner
early because they were too young to eat with the adults. Some people say
the word «high» is in contrast to low tea, based not on quality, but on the
height of the tables. High tea was eaten at a high table, low tea at a low
table (like a coffee table). High tea table is decorated with different kinds
of fruit cakes, Victorian sponge cakes, chocolate cakes, ginger bread and
finger biscuits.

Do you know how to pour a proper cup of English tea?
Step 1. Boil water.
Step 2.
Scald the teapot.
Once the
kettle boils, swish some of the water around the empty teapot and tea mugs and
then dump it out.
Step 3.
Add the tea bag to the empty pot
English tea
bags, which are string-free and come in shapes such as pyramids and circles to
better allow flavors to flow into the hot water, are settled into an empty pot,
and then the boiling water is poured in. The English do not approve of «useless
strings» on American tea bags.
Step 4.
Let it «rest»
Tea is not
ready to pour for at least 3 minutes. But this is your preference really, as to
how strong you want to serve your tea. Right before you are ready to pour, lift
the top of the tea pot and stir clockwise three times to even the flavors.
Do not crush the tea leaves! This will release bitter tastes into your
tea.
Step 5.
The order of milk
What at
first? Tea or milk?
Milk (or if
you must, cream) should cover just the bottom of your tea cup or mug before you
pour in the tea. If you are skipping the teapot step, scald your mug, add your
tea bag, and then the boiling water. Milk will go in last.
Congratulations!!!
You now know the secrets of making a «real» cup of tea.

While the tea
is being brewed, we have some time to remember the rules of etiquette. By the
way, “Tea Moralities” belong to the Queen.
The location
of the teaspoon on the saucer - only behind the cup, and never - in the cup itself.
Holding a cup
in hand it was considered completely unacceptable to raise the little finger.
After all, when a guest drinks tea, he should look into the cup, and not over
it. You can’t pass your index finger through the ear of the cup. It should be held
with three fingers of the right hand: thumb, index and middle.
Also there
some rules such as:
·
You must lay sugar in the tea carefully.
·
You must eat the pie with the help of spoon but not hands.
·
You mustn’t tap the spoon for a cup stirring tea.
·
And one more: during drinking tea Englishmen speak only about
pleasant things

When
Englishmen get together for drinking tea on their table you can see a lot of
different dishes. For example, jam, biscuits, sweets, fruits, cheese, cakes,
and of course an apple pie. It is the main dish of drinking tea.

Tea break is
a necessary part of etiquette. Its absence at a business meeting is the height
of disrespect for the interlocutors. To have tea break during negotiations you
will need several varieties of tea. To offer only one variety of tea is
impolite.
And now we
invite everybody to Tea Drinking. You are welcome!
Кстати
В книге «Как быть британцем» венгерский журналист Джордж Майкс советовал:
«Вы никогда не должны отказываться от чашки чая при следующих обстоятельствах:
если на улице жарко; если на улице холодно; если вы устали; если кто-то думает,
что вы устали; если вам не по себе; <…> прежде чем выйти из дома; если вы
не дома; если вы только что пришли домой; если вам хочется чайку; если вам не
очень хочется чайку, но вы могли бы; если вы уже давно не пили чая; если вы только что перехватили чашечку».
