Tea & Hot Drinks

Tea and Hot Drinks

Tea, the most popular and most consumed beverage in the world, has a special place in the United Kingdom. Consumed cold or hot at any time of the day, tea is indispensable, especially for breakfasts and evening snacks.

What Is Tea, How Is It Produced?

With its history of 5,000 years, tea was first used by the Chinese. The plant, which was used only for medical purposes first, became a popular beverage with its unique aroma and flavour. Tea, that has two most popular types, green and black, is grown in regions where rain falls throughout the year and the weather is cool. After harvesting and storing come to the production. Harvested green tea leaves are left to wither at the right temperature. The withering process, which can be physical or chemical, is the most important step of production. Physical withering reduces the amount of water in the plant and this way, leaves are dried and curled. As the amount of water decreases, buds gain flexibility and do not break into pieces. The permeability of buds also increases during this step. Chemical withering, on the other hand, is a more technical method than physical withering that also aims to reduce the amount of water in the plant. Natural and controlled withering are also popular methods.

According to the World Tea Report, an average of 1.94 kg of tea is consumed per person annually in the United Kingdom. Along with Turkey, Afghanistan, Libya and Qatar, the United Kingdom is one of the countries that produce and consume the most tea in the world.
