Pr 1: The topic of our lesson is TEA. ENGLISH TEA CEREMONY.

Welcome to our tea party.

ІІ. Основна частина уроку

Pr 1:

It’s common knowledge that the English are very fond of tea. They like to have a

nice cup of tea from 6 to 8 times a day, sometimes even more.

Pr 2:

Millions of people in factories and offices look forward to their tea breaks in the

morning and afternoon. They are called elevenses and 5 o’clock tea.

Let’s read and translate some posters to see what the English think of tea.

(Учні читають та перекладають по черзі)

Student 1:

The English know how to make tea and what it does for you.

Student 2:

Seven cups of it make you up in the morning; nine cups will put you to sleep at

night.

St 3:

If you are hot, tea will cool you off, and if you are cold, it will warm you up.

St 4:

If you take it in the middle of the morning, it will stimulate you for further work;

if you drink it in the afternoon, it will relax you for further thought.

St 5:

The test of good tea is simple: If a spoon stands up in it, then it is strong enough; if

the spoon starts to wobble, it is a feeble makeshift.

Pr 1:

(звертаючись до гостей) I think that all of you like to drink tea but I also think

that you know too little about this magnificent beverage. I think that at the end of

our tea-party you’ll be able to answer a lot of questions about tea.

Pr 2:

(звертаючись до учнів) So, you've learnt some facts about the history of tea and

tea ceremonies.

St 6:

History of tea.

Chinese tea history. It is a sheer pleasure to speak about the history of tea. Part of

this history goes far beyond the scopes of the comprehensible past and relates

rather to the mythological times than to history. This means that those crumbs of

legends that came to us from Ancient China can be turned into impressive narrative

rich in dramatic tension but with a happy ending. It is only natural that tea dealers

(and the Chinese in the first place) practice such myth-making most actively.

Pr 1:

Do you know what are the best tea leaves?

Перегляд Video 2. 1:00. Tea. What are the best tea leaves?

Pr 2:

There are some students who have found very interesting facts concerning tea. Let

us listen to them.

St 1:

English tea history. When a person thinks of the origin of tea, China is always the

answer. However, the culture of drinking tea is most always associated with the

British.

Quite surprisingly, it was in a coffee house owned by Thomas Garway in London

where tea was first offered. He sold the beverage and the dry tea around 1657 and

touted its medicinal effects as “preserving perfect health until extreme old age”.

St 2:

Coffee houses were a hub of social and business news. Literature, politics and art

were discussed freely. They were patronized entirely by men. In fact, some of

those coffee houses evolved into “men only” clubs, one such being established by

Edward Lloyd. It later became the insurance company Lloyds of London.

St 3:

Many stories end with a marriage, this story is different. It starts with a marriage…

In 1662, Prince Charles II married the Portuguese Princess, Catherine of Braganza.

The princess was very fond of tea and accustomed her royal spouse to this new

drink. She replaced wine, ale and spirits with tea as the court drink. Because tea

was served primarily in male frequented coffee houses, she was instrumental in the

acceptability for women to drink the beverage.

 

4

 

St 4:

We must say that tea was familiar to the English before the marriage of the high-

standing persons; Garway's Coffee House, for example, traded in tea in London

since 1657. However, tea was mostly known as a medicinal drink, and was much

less popular than coffee.

St 5:

The English East India Company brought small gifts of tea from Europe in an

attempt to please Charles II, but the company didn’t consider tea to be worth

importing from China until later in the century. When tea and other imports from

Holland were prohibited, the English East India Company began the trade of this

commodity.

St 6:

The biggest problem England had in the tea trade with China was that the Chinese

would only sell tea in exchange for silver. It was too expensive for England to ship

the silver. This created yet another industry…. opium. They brought opium to

China from India, sold it to the Chinese for silver and then bought the tea with the

silver. This continued until about 1839 when large.quantities of English opium

were destroyed, starting the First Opium War. The Opium Wars continued until

1860 and during that time, trade between England and China fell apart.

St 7:

This led to the beginning of the tea industry in India.

Tea blending began in England in 1870 when R. Twining & Co. Ltd. blended teas

to improve the taste and standardize quality. This resulted in blends such as

English Breakfast. In 1875, Sir Thomas Lipton opened his first shop. By the end of

the nineteenth century, the foundation was laid for the modern tea trade. In

England, Indian and Ceylon teas became more popular than those from China.

St 8:

In 1875, Thomas Lipton opened his first shop. Then he became the father of the

modern aggressive advertising, founder of the tea empire, and the man who made

Ceylon a tea island.

By the end of the 19th century, the forming of the Tea Britain was for the most part

over. Brooke Bond and Lipton laid the foundation of the modern tea trade; in

England, blends of Indian and Ceylon teas became more popular than Chinese tea;

tea became an element of the English mass culture; tea manufactories of India and

Ceylon began to become tea industry.

St 9:

One reason for tea’s increased popularity over coffee was it’s preparation. Since

coffee could only be used once, it was less expensive to prepare tea, since it could

be brewed more than once.

 

5

 

St 10:

The price of tea per pound has always been more than coffee, but less tea is used

per cup.

It was decisively a key component in British culture.

Pr 1:

Every country has its own tea – drinking habits. When tea was first brought to

England people didn’t know how it ought to be used. They boiled the leaves and

put them on a piece of bacon, and than ate them.

Pr 2:

And what do you know about ‘English Tea Ceremony’?

St 1:

‘English Tea Ceremony’ is not an obvious concept. On the one hand, at this

undertaking, rather fixed and regulated actions take place. On the other hand, all

these actions are very simple and comprehensible. They are not at all that strict as,

for example, in the Japanese ceremony. But if the English themselves consider

their tea drinking a ceremony, let us also consider it a ceremony.

So. The English tea ceremony has developed from the English tradition of

Afternoon Tea or Five-o-clock Tea. To conduct an English tea ceremony one needs

certain table appointments, tea, snacks for tea, and the ability to manage tea during

the process of tea-drinking. Let’s look into these things one after another.

Перегляд Video 3. 1:26. The English tea ceremony.

Pr 2:

But now let’s speak without humour.

St 2:

Table appointments. One-color table cloth. White or blue (better white).

Disposable cloth is allowed. A small vase with flowers. Better natural and white. A

fork and a knife for every tea-drinking person. A tea cup and a saucer, the teapot

with tea (either one for all or individual), a jug with boiled water, a jug with milk

or cream. Sugar-bowl with lump sugar (ideally — with both white and brown). Tea

spoons… Tea snacks, of course, are served in dessert-dishes with fork and knife.

St 3:

All plates and dishes, of course, must belong to one set. China set. White or blue

and white (as for me, I like blue and white more). One will also need a quilted or

woolen cover — tea-cozy. Tea. Any tea. Usually, guests are offered 5 to 10 kinds

of tea. Among which without fail there will be Earl Grey, of course. Heavily

flavored teas are also possible, as well as tea bags (they do not make all that good

impression though. It is very prestigious to have and offer your own specialty tea

blend.

 

6

 

St 4:

Snacks for tea. Snacks for tea are the most difficult part of the English tea

ceremony to reproduce in Ukrainian surroundings.

St 5:

On the one hand, English tea pastry does not constitute anything supernatural. It

can be easily made at our kitchens — one just needs to get recipes. In the Internet,

for example.

St 6:

On the other hand, all their scones, teacakes, ginger cakes, large-cell waffles,

creams and jams are very unusual and beyond the bounds of our culinary

discourse. Although they are very tasty sometimes — the warm teacakes with

salted butter, for example.

St 7:

Ginger bread and cakes are good for emphasizing the taste of tea.

St 8:

Modern English tea table. It is quite acceptable to change traditional English

pastry for our neutral one. Pancakes with caviar will not suit English tea-drinking,

of course, but some simple cake will be just right for it. A very simple cake —

fancy pastry will suppress tea.

St 9:

Tea drinking. The main secret of the English tea ceremony is hidden in it, of

course. It is a very simple secret, though. Thus. Tea is brewed proceeding from the

assumption that when in cups it will not be mixed with water anymore. That is one

teaspoon of tea per person. If a teapot is big — for five-six people — one more

teaspoon of tea leaves for all (for the pot) may be added. Tea is infused for 3-5

minutes (sometimes a sand glass may be used for control of time — it looks nice),

and then poured out into cups. Right after it, hot water from a water-jug is added to

the teapot. Teapot is covered with a tea-cozy not to get cold. When tea is brewed

for the first time, the teapot does not have to be covered, although it may be.

St 10:

This water-adding, on the one hand, dilutes tea, which will have drawn by the

moment when the first cup will be over. On the other hand, it will keep tea

relatively hot and still rather tasty for the repeated drinking. Hot water may be

added after the second drinking again — but with every next water-adding the

quality of the tea will gradually get worse.

This very hot water adding is the main secret of the English tea ceremony. Simple

and pleasant. Pleasant since it can easily be reproduced at home.

English Tea. By Paul McCartney

Would you care to sit with me

For a cup of English tea

Very twee, very me

Any sunny morning

What a pleasure it would be

Chatting so delightfully

Nanny bakes fairy cakes

Every Sunday morning

Miles and miles of English garden, stretching past the willow tree

Lines of hollyhocks and roses, listen most attentively

Do you know the game croquet

Peradventure we might play

Very gay, hip hooray

Any sunny morning

(solo)

Miles and miles of English garden, stretching past the willow tree

Lines of hollyhocks and roses, listen most attentively

As a rule the church bells chime

When it's almost supper time

History of Lipton Tea

 

If there's one name synonymous with tea, it's Lipton. As the top brand of tea in the

world in 2009, it's a company with a long history devoted to just a single product.

Consequently, their distinct yellow label is recognized the world over and they also

fund research into tea growing and the benefits of drinking it. This global beverage

empire started humbly enough, however, and has over a century of history behind

it.

Lipton teas were created by Sir Thomas Lipton, who was born in Glasgow,

Scotland in 1850. In 1890, he journeyed to Ceylon, a country noted for tea leaves.

After experimenting with different tea crops, he finally developed a blend that he

brought to market back in Scotland. Eventually, his grocery business expanded into

Britain, and by the end of the 19th century Lipton was one of the most popular teas

in the U.K.

Under the slogan of "from the tea gardens to the tea pot" Lipton made it a point to

sell quality teas. The best tea was simply known as "Quality No. 1" and sold in a

yellow package with a red shield. This would go on to become the label associated

with Lipton, and is still used in packaging Lipton teas in 2009. Lipton began to

 

9

 

expand, even to the United States, which was less receptive (having been a nation

of coffee drinkers since that incident in Boston Harbor).

Lipton himself was knighted by Queen Victoria, and it was only fitting as he made

full use of the reaches of the British Empire. Aside from Ceylon, the Empire

included other places of notable interest in the tea world, including India and

China. Moreover, as tea was the drink of the British Empire, the company had a

built in global network of tea drinkers that it could tap into to create global sales.

Lipton's initial forays in Ceylon helped established one of the primary assets of the

company that bears his name. From a humble five acres owned by the Scotsman in

Ceylon, the company now operates tea plantations in Kenya and Tanzania. In

addition they have experts who scout tea crops in over 35 countries worldwide to

form their blend.

The tea business split from the grocery business and in a process that spanned from

1938 to 1972, was acquired by Unilever. Lipton has also partnered with Pepsi to

market ready-to-drink teas around the world. They also run the Lipton Institute of

Tea, which is dedicated to the study of tea and it's benefits. Although only the

black tea gets the full yellow label, they also market green tea, iced tea, milk tea

and herbal varieties.

 

Pr 1:

Hot tea is good when it’s cold. But who would drink tea in summer when it’s

hot? Iced tea is much better for hot weather. Iced tea is an American invention. It

was made in St. Louis, Missouri for the first time in 1904. You’ll be taught how to

make iced tea.

Pr 2:

The best way to make this is to make a pot of tea and after the tea has been infused

for five minutes pour the tea off into a jug and put it in the fridge to cool. Serve

with ice cubes, lemon or orange to flavor and sugar if you wish. This is an

excellent, economical and refreshing summer drink.

Pr 1: It’s interesting to know that…

Jasmine Tea. The most renowned Chinese ‘additive’ to tea is Jasmine. Jasmine is

usually added into green tea. It’s for a stylish and elegant person.

Pr 2:

Peach Tea. Almost forgot — you can add some sugar into Peach tea — to

combine sweet flavor with sweet taste. It’s for a good-natured and shy personю

Pr 1:

Orange Tea is flavored with orange peels and some other orange flavoring. In

England such tea is often called Windsor Blend and considered a special royal

blend. Orange teas are quite multi-purpose — they are good in winter as well as in

summer, with snacks as well as without them. It’s for a self-possessed and

impatient person.

Pr 2:

Black Currant Tea– is Churchill’s favorite tea, tea mentioned in one of James

Bond movies— a drink for real men, a specific drink with specific taste and flavor.

It’s for a very tactful and capable person

Pr 1:

Mint Tea — is a wonderful tea, with a very light — one may even say fine —

smokiness. They say that a small amount of this tea is yearly ordered by the Royal

Court of Great Britain. Maybe, Churchill drank this very tea. It’s for the devoted

friends and unique people.

Pr 2:

Cardamom Tea is rather heavily smoked. For want of habit, one can easily catch

notes of turpentine, ski grease, and smoked fish. More sophisticated people find

notes of fire smoke and prunes. In short — it is a matter of taste and habits.

Pr 1:

Wild Raspberry. Naturally, any variant of this tea is drunk without sugar —

unless you are a lover of sweet tea. It’s for a gentle and modest person.

Pr 2:

Earl Grey Tea — is the most famous fragrant tea. The marketing legend that

accompanies it usually tells a story of Charles Grey, a British diplomat, who was

given a secret recipe of tea flavoring by a Chinese grandee. Since then black tea

flavored with bergamot oil has been called Earl Grey. It’s for a strong-willed and

hard-working person.

Pr 1:

Strawberry Tea is usually drunk without sugar, and with light snacks. If you

want to please your mother or impress a lady — go ahead, tea is waiting.

Pr 2:

Greenfield “Spring Melody” – is black tea for associable, friendly, good-

tempered and sympathetic person.

Pr 1:

English Breakfast – is black tea for a generous, honest, respectable and broad-

minded person.

Prs or Sts:

You can tell someone’s personality by the kind of chocolate they choose.

If you choose a round chocolate, you are a very sociable person.

And if you choose a square chocolate, then you are very honest and reliable. Do

you believe this?

People, who choose oval chocolates are very creative,

and if you choose a rectangular one, you’re a sympathetic person, a good listener.

If you choose those spiral ones, you’re dynamic – but very disorganized. Is that

true? Suppose it is, really.

Now then, if you chose a diamond-shaped chocolate, you’re probably materialistic

and interested in money,

and people who chose a triangular chocky are insensitive.
