Transcript TEA , A BRITISH TRADITION
Tea
Britain is a tea-drinking nation. Every day
they drink 165 million cups of the stuff
and each year around 144 thousand tons
of tea are imported.
Tea in Britain is traditionally brewed in a
warmed china teapot, adding one spoonful
of tea per person and one for the pot.
Most Britons like their tea strong and
dark, but with a lot of milk.
