Tea Popular British Beverage.

Tea is the most popular of British beverages, and In spite of William Cobbett’s lament that “tea shops” were being substituted for wholesome small beer to the detriment of the populace in his day, “the cup that cheers” is the staple drink of all classes. It cannot be said that there has been any marked deterioration of English people through constant Indulgence in tea.
