Tea in British culture

• In the 18th century tea was only for the upper class and was imported from China by ship.It was expensive & heavy duty had to be paid for import
• In the 19th century it became available for the common people.
• Smugglers first made tea available for the lower classes.
• The government lowered taxes on tea import so that everyone could enjoy tea.
• Great Britain started to grow tea in India, which became a British colony in 1858.
• Good tea harvests in India resulted in lower tea prices, making it affordable for all

1840s- the Duchess of Bedford starts Afternoon Tea

The Duchess of Bedford starts sneaking in a snack in the later afternoon with Darjeeling tea, to keep herself from getting ‘hangry’ before dinner (pictures below: the Duchess Anna Russell and her home Woburn Abbey)

The upper classes only enjoyed breakfast and dinner. Only ladies had a light lunch (soup/sandwich), (working) men went to pubs; dinner was served between 7:30 - 8:00 pm - fashionable for upper class to serve dinner late

Organising the past

How tea conquered Britain.

Tea has been discovered in China. The oldest discovered tea in China is dating 206 BC (Before Christ) to 220 AD (Anno Domini). Between the years 700 and 800 (8th century) tea was the national drink of China.

The world began to learn of China’s tea secret in the early 1600s, when Dutch traders started bringing much tea to Europa. The tea first arrived in Britain in the 1650s. Tea was served in coffee houses, but it was rare. A few (mostly rich) people drank tea.

Until 1662… The British king would marry a Portuguese princess, Catherine of Braganza. She loved tea and brought it to Britain. Tea became a popular drink for the nobles (= adel).

By the 18th century almost everybody wanted to drink some tea. But tea was still very expensive. The British loved tea so much that smugglers traded tea illegally. In 1783 the taxes on tea were lowered, from then on tea became part of everyday life in Britain.

Around 1650: The tea arrived in Britain.

1662: The Portugese princess loved tea, so tea became populair. 

By 1700 (start of the 18th century) everybody wanted to drink tea. 

1783: tea became part of everyday life. 

How did this lesson go?

😒🙁😐🙂😃

Bespreek de oefeningen na. 

Wat heb je ervaren? Vond je het fijn, of juist niet? Denk je dat dit voor jou zou werken voordat je een toets moet doen of een presentatie geven? Of als je zenuwachtig bent, of je ergert aan iets of iemand. Voelde het vreemd? Misschien wilde je je ogen niet dicht doen en werd je toch afgeleid. Het kan dat je je niet veilig genoeg voelde op dit moment om je ogen dicht te doen? Als dat niet zo was, probeer het dan thuis in je eentje nog eens. 

Voor de docent: Als kinderen aangeven dat ze het prettig vonden, zou je kunnen afspreken dat ze zo nu en dan mogen vragen om een ademmomentje. Dan doen jullie met de hele klas de oefening van de regelmatige ademhaling of de bodyscan – doe de oefening dan zittend en gebruik bijv. alleen de audio van het filmpje De Bodyscan. Dan kan jouw les hét moment zijn om even te ‘ont-focussen’: een heel krachtig, bewezen middel tegen stress.
