When tea was first brought to England between 1652 and 1654, it was so expensive that only the rich could buy it. It was said that an old couple had some sent to them as a great treat. But they did not know how it should be used. Finally they boiled(Öó·Ð) the leaves, put some of them on a piece of bacon(ÏÌÈâ) for dinner, ate the leaves, and threw the tea soup away. However, tea quickly proved popular enough to replace ale£¨ÂóÑ¿¾Æ£©as the national drink of England after King Charles II and his Portuguese wife began to follow this foreign tea tradition.

Before the introduction of tea into Britain, the English had two main meals¡ªbreakfast and dinner. Breakfast was ale, bread and beef. Dinner was a long, big meal at the end of the day. It was no wonder that Anna, the Duchess of Bedford (1788¡ª1861) experienced a ¡®sinking feeling¡¯  in the late afternoon. So she invited friends to join her for an extra afternoon meal at five o¡¯clock in her castle. The menu centered around small cakes, bread and butter sandwiches, and, of course, tea. This summer practice proved so popular that the Duchess continued it when she returned to London, sending cards to her friends asking them to join her for ¡°tea and a walking the fields¡±.

The practice of inviting friends to come for tea in the afternoon was quickly picked up by other social hostesses. A common form of service soon came into practice. The first pot of tea was made in the kitchen and carried to the lady of the house who waited with her invited guests, surrounded by fine china from China. The first pot was warmed by the hostess from a second bottle (usually silver) that was kept heated over a small fire. Food and tea was then passed among the guests, the main purpose of the visiting being conversation.
