Card 1

From ancient timesChinese wisdom came to us with tea ceremonies . During these beautiful rituals , having a deep philosophical meaning , people not only enjoy the aroma and taste of fine tea , but remove from the hustle and feel the peace and quiet , find harmony with oneself and the world .

Wedgwood china - British ceramics factory Wedgwood, strong tea, cucumber sandwiches and scones with raisins - all these elements of a traditional English tea ceremony.And it's not just the tea party, it's a whole philosophy .

The average Englishman drink about six cups of tea a day. In the daytime tea schedule is as follows. About six o'clock in the morning the whole country is drinking fresh morning tea. But that's not breakfast. The first meal and again tea, English Breakfast, occurs at eight o'clock . With an hour to two days in the life of cities and towns freezes - are closed institutions , stops work in the factories. This lunchtime, when every self-respecting Englishman drinking a nice cup of tea - "a nice cup of tea ." The second title this break - tea break. And finally - the traditional five - o - clock tea.

English tea ceremony evolved from the English tradition of afternoon tea is known as Afternoon Tea or Five-o-clock Tea. Held it naturally evening.

To carry out the English tea ceremony needs a certain way served tea table, tea, tea and snacks ability to cope with drinking tea in the process .

Snacks for tea

English tea cakes, on the one hand , nothing extraordinary in itself is not . One requirement : snacks should be simple. Because if baking is a very feature-rich.

Teacakes ( toasted buns with raisins ) with salted butter .

Gingerbread cakes arevery well set off the taste of the tea .

Scone ( scones with raisins ), which was cut in half and smear with jam and cream .

Sandwiches ( maybe someone does not like sweet or do not eat it for other reasons) . Bread for such small sandwiches cut into very thin slices . Hot sandwiches for tea are served very rare - mostly in the cold .

Sandwiches should be light and delicate : lettuce , rolled on a thin slice of bread , tomato and cucumber, sliced ​​slices on a round piece of bread , cream cheese or pieces of crab meat on toast - that's the most typical kinds of sandwiches supplied to tea .

Tea ceremony classic English style assumes that the table is fed milk in the milkman .

Tea is made based on the fact that the plates it will not be diluted(розбавляться) with boiling water. That is per adult drinker maker laid one teaspoon of tea leaves ( or bag ) . If it is a very large pot - five or six - you can add one more spoonful at all. It is required 3 or 5 minutes for tea should be ready (sometimes to control the time used hourglass - it's beautiful ). And right after that topped the kettle with boiling water from the jug. And tea is served tea-cosy - not to cool down .

Along with light snacks and refined teas made ​​to the table " feeding " elegant conversation. On this basis, keeps the whole philosophy of the English tea ceremony.
