大约在18世纪80年代,一个名叫罗伯特.福琼(Robert Fortune)的英国植树采集家(The Tea Thief)将茶树种子放入一个用特殊玻璃制成的便携式保温箱中,偷偷地带上了开往印度的轮船,于是在印度培养了十万株以上的茶树苗,形成了大规模的茶园,并由此产生了英国的红茶文化。
中国茶在向西方各国传播种过程中,许多国家只传去了茶叶,而只有在英国真正形成了一种文化,这也许跟英国特有的文化和英国人贵族式的品味有关。
有资料表明,世界上饮茶最多的是爱尔兰英国人,每年人均饮茶在十公斤以上。他们饮茶、爱茶、文人以茶助思,友人以茶会友,可说茶的浪漫、茶花芳香无处不在。英国的卡林娜皇后喜饮红茶,并说饮茶使她身材苗条,英国诗人由此作了一首题为《饮茶皇后》的诗,诗中写到:
花神宠秋色,嫦娥衿月桂。
月桂与秋色,美难与茶比。
一为后中英,一为群芳最。
物阜称东土,携来感勇士。
助我清明思,湛然去烦累。
欣蓬事诞晨,祝寿介以此。
这首诗写出了茶的美好,茶的精神。茶影响着英国的各个阶层,英国人在晨起之时,要饮早茶,即earlymorningtea,他们早餐就以红茶为主要饮料。到了上午11点(相当于亚洲的上午10点钟),无论你是空闲在家的贵族,还是繁忙的上班族,都要休息片刻,喝一杯eleven\'s,他们称之为早上11点左右的便餐。到了中午,吃了午餐之后,少不了配上一杯奶茶。而后在下午3点半至4点左右还要来一杯下午茶,他们称之为High tea。英国人在喝茶时总要配上小圆饼和蛋糕、三明治等点心。一般的家庭主妇都很擅长做这类糕点,正式的晚餐中也少不了茶。
从前,贵族式的下午茶总是颇为讲究的,在一个大的庄院内,要按时把家人招集齐来喝红茶总是一件不易的事,所以他们摇着精美的铃铛,用铃铛声来告诉家人是用下午茶的时候了。英国红茶的讲究,除了它特有的文化氛围外,还有它独特的、精美的茶具,茶具多用陶瓷做成,茶具上绘有英国植物与花卉的图案,把英国人对大自然的热爱表现得淋漓尽致。茶具除了美观之外,还极其的坚固,很有收藏价值。整套的茶具一般包括茶杯、茶壶、滤杓、广口奶精瓶、砂糖壶、茶铃、茶巾、保温棉罩、茶叶罐、热水壶、托盘,其中托盘种类很多,有银制品、木制品或塑胶制品等,他们喜欢在托盘中铺上一层蕾丝,把托盘点缀得很优雅,从点点细节上都让你感到英国人高雅的品味。
品饮红茶是英国独有的文化,也是他们待客的礼节,在英国红茶无所不在,但做为一个中国人,还是能从茶的芳香和甘美中品饮出它是来自东方的甘露,嗅出东方泥土的芳香
