TEA DRINKING ETIQUETTES FROM ACROSS THE WORLD Different Ways of Serving Different Type of Tea

Abstract

Tea is not only important the ways it is made but also the ways in which it is served. Gone are the days when tea was a just warm brown liquid. It is no longer a random cup of black tea blended with milk and sugar. Similarly, there are different ways of serving and consuming it in different countries. In some countries, it is typically served in longish tulip-shaped glasses, in tall glasses, in bowls and in some breakfast cup and even Indian kulhad are still the best. Tea drinking etiquettes from across the world are shown in the figure as illustrated by Ismat Tehseen (2019).Do you know that tea bags were invented in 1908 in United States by Thomas Sallivan who created small silk bags for keeping samples of teas to deliver to his customers. Ice tea was invented by Richard Blenchynden in early 1900. He was unable to sell his tea at Summer Fair because it was blazing hot. He then decided to put ice into the tea and it became a huge hit.
