If Finland is a coffee-loving country, then England is one of the countries that loves tea the most in the world with over 100,000,000 cups being drunk in the UK every single day of the year. They are well known for their delicious teas. English tea is famous for its unique, irresistible flavor and is commonly used for both morning and afternoon tea parties.

Tea began to be brought to England in 1658 with black teas originating from China. Not long after, around 1700, tea was developed in the British colonies and became more popular. During this time, tea was considered a luxury product, only aristocrats or wealthy families could use it.
