Tea Time Around the World: How Different Countries Drink Their Tea
Share
Tea is one of the most popular drinks in the world, and every country has its own way of making it.
Britain: strong with milk
A British cuppa is usually black tea, brewed strong, with a splash of milk. Biscuits are almost compulsory. PG Tips is a classic choice.
A Portuguese link
Catherine of Braganza, the Portuguese princess who married Charles II of England in 1662, is often credited with making tea fashionable at the English court.
Portugal: herbal teas after dinner
In many Portuguese homes an infusion after dinner is a ritual. Lemon verbena, chamomile and mint are favourites. Try chamomile or mint.
Morocco: sweet mint tea
Green tea with fresh mint and plenty of sugar, poured from a height to make a little foam.
Earl Grey
Black tea with bergamot, loved across Europe. Twinings Earl Grey.
South Africa: rooibos
A caffeine free red bush infusion, naturally smooth. Rooibos infusion.
Make it a moment
Put the kettle on, pick a tea from a country you have never tried and pair it with a biscuit from the same place.
