English Tea History
If you are cold, tea will warm you.
If you are too heated, it will cool you.
If you are depressed, it will cheer you.
If you are excited, it will calm you.
Sir William Gladstone
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, 19th century
Many stories end with a marriage, this story is different. It starts with a marriage…
In 1662, Prince Charles II married the Portuguese Princess, Catherine of Braganza.
The princess was very fond of tea and soon this new drink became very popular.
After Charles II became king, a drink of the foreign princess became the Drink of
the Queen. Tea was a real success first among aristocracy, and then among other
English citizens. The popularity was formed slowly but forever.
In 1706, on the Strand, in London, Thomas Twining opened Tom’s Coffee House
— where one could buy not only coffee but also tea. Thomas Twining started a
wide retail trade in tea and provided great masses of English ladies with the access
to the fashionable drink. These masses, actually, formed the phenomenon known
as the English tea tradition.
At that time one of the most popular tea was Earl Grey.The Earl Grey blend is
named after the 2nd Earl Grey, British Prime Minister who received a gift, of tea
flavoured with bergamot oil. According to the legend, a grateful Chinese mandarin
whose son was rescued from drowning by one of Lord Grey's men presented the
blend to the Earl, who gave the recipe of it to Twinings in 1832.
While gentlemen were at war, conquering vast expanses of the sea, and creating
the Great British Empire, ladies created a wonderful means of human
communication — the English tea party. While Charles Darwin was busy creating
his Theory of Evolution in 1839, his wife Emily was busy creating her famous
recipe book with different recipes of cakes and puddings for tea.
In 1840 the most beautiful part of English tea history started. Anna Maria
Stanhope, the 7th Duchess of Bedford, completely formed the English tea tradition,
and invented afternoon tea — tea between lunch and dinner, accompanied with
refined conversation, sweet gossip and fine etiquette.
By the end of the 1840-s, the forming of the Tea Britain was over and tea became
an element of the English and European mass culture.

1. For a long time people were thinking about different vehicles. There was one of
them which attracted a lot of their attention. In 1818 a strange device with two
wheels appeared in Europe. It didn't have any pedals and was pushed by feet. Only
21 years later Scottish blacksmith Kirkpatrick Macmillan made the first real kind
of transport which later was called “a boneshaker”. Now there are more than 300
models of these devices in the world.
2. Our world is the world of modern conveniences. It was a small town of
Goldaming which in 1881 opened the era of hydroelectric power stations. Two
English workers Calder and Barrett were first to light the streets of their native
town with lamps which were not gas ones. And now about 5 million kilowatt of
this energy is demanded for our city every year.
3.Every morning we go to the kitchen, turn on the gas and in a few minutes our
breakfast is ready. Since 1826 these kitchen appliances have helped us to prepare
food though they have changed their design a lot. It took 54 years to make this
technology a commercial success. Nowadays about 12 world famous plants
produce these Victorian gadgets.
4. Bicycles were not only one kind of transport in the 19th century. In 1863 the first
line of this railway came into being and now it is the fastest way of traveling in any
city.
5. In 1898 another essential device was made. It was a gadget which nowadays is
necessary in our music centers, players and also TVs. It was worked out by British
scientist Oliver Lodge. A model of his invention is on display in the British
Science Museum in South Kensington.
