Drunk on Tea

As a lot of you may know, when you say tea, you say England. In most countries, people might drink tea at breakfast, or at most twice a day, because in most countries tea is a very disappointing adventure: a teabag soaking in a large mug of hot water. But in England tea is not only a wonderful drink; it’s a national habit. We drink tea 24/7. It can also be a meal. With it, you can serve cakes, biscuits or sandwiches on posh little china plates. Why do the English drink so much tea? Well no one knows. Perhaps because of the cold weather, or maybe it was a fashion a long time ago, it could be anything !!! The first man who introduced tea to England was Earl Grey. He had discovered it while walking through India .Then a man named Thomas Twining set up as a tea merchant in the London Strand in 1706. Twining has traded since from the same address, an amazing and unique world record.
