問題詳情:
Tea,the most typical English drink,became established in Britain because of the influence of a foreign princess,Catherine of Braganza,the queen of Charles II.As a lover of tea since her childhood in Portugal,she brought tea-drinking to the English royal court and set a trend for the beverage in the 17th century.The fashion soon spread beyond the circle of the nobility to the middle classes,and tea became a popular drink at the London coffee houses where people met to do business and discuss events of the day.Many employers served a cup of tea to their workers in the middle of the morning,thus inventing a lasting British institution,the“tea break.”However,drinking tea in social settings outside the workplace was beyond the means of the majority of British people.It came with a high price tag and tea was taxed as well.
Around 1 800,the seventh Duchess of Bedford,Anne Maria,began the popular practice
of“afternoon tea,”a ceremony taking place at about four o’clock.Until then,people did not
usually eat or drink anything between lunch and dinner.At approximately the same time,the
Earl of Sandwich popularized a new way of eating bread—in thin slices,with something like jam or cucumbers between them.Before long,a small meal at the end of the afternoon,involving tea and sandwiches,had become part of the British way of life.
As tea became much cheaper during the 19th century,its popularity spread right through all corners of the British society.Thus,tea became Britain’s favorite drink.In working-class households,it was served with the main meal of the day,eaten when workers returned home after a day’s labor.This meal has become known as“high tea.”Today,tea can be drunk at any time of the day,and accounts for over two-fifths of all drinks consumed in Britain-with the exception of water.
