History of Tea

• Afternoon tea may have been started by the French
  according to a newsletter called TeaMuse.By 1700
  tea was being sold by more than 500 coffee houses
  in London. Tea drinking became even more popular
  when Queen Anne (16651714) chose tea over ale as
  her breakfast drink.

Etiquette

• It is proper to lift the tea cup and
  saucer together, holding the tea cup in one hand
  with the saucer in the other. You should hold the
  cup lightly by the handle, extending your pinky
  finger. Hold the saucer in your hand while you
  sip your tea, this helps against drips and
  dribbles. It is best to keep your napkin on your
  lap. If you have used a fork, leave it lying down
  on your plate with the tines down.
