Tea Trivia:the weird, the wacky & the wonderful in the world of tea
· After water, tea is the most oft consumed beverage in the world!
· Herbal Teas actually have no relation to tea whatsoever as they are not made of the tea leaf or camelia sinensis plant - they are more aptly called 'tisanes'
· Yes it is true that Anna the 7th Duchess of Bedford is credited with the advent of the ritual known as afernoon tea also called low tea since it was originally served at a low table, much like what we call a coffee table.
· Afternoon Tea includes finger sandwiches, scones, pastries & all manner of dainties
· High Tea (served at a high table, like a family's dinner table) is not the fanciest form of afternoon tea service. On the contrary, it is the end of the day meal taken by the working class and usually includes potted meats, hunks of breads, cheeses and so on with nary a petit four in sight
· Milk is served with tea, not cream. Cream is so heavy that it tends to cloud the taste of the tea
·
The world's largest teapot is located in Chester, WV USA
· .... while the smallest one is apparently on an index finger somewhere
