Talisman Tea Provides it Stories On Tea Drinking S

“Taeping” and Ariel” were. clippers in the Great Tea Race of 1886. With all sails set, scud- ding along under a brisk breeze, the tea cilppers of the 19th cen- tury were a thrilling sight. These ships were specially designed for the speedy transport of tea, and ship captains and crews raced from China to London or New York for prizes of thousands of

And despite the thousands of miles they had to sail competing tea clippers often arrived in Eng- land or American within minutes of each other. Excitement became intense in the ports as both tea importers and the public waited for the first of the new season's, teas to arrive.

Tea played a dr-amati-. part in the establishment of the United States of America. In 1767 the British Government put a tax on tea used by the American colon- ists. The settlers decided to stop buying tea and refused to allow

One Decem-ber night in 1773, men dressed as Indians boarded British ships in Boston harbour and threw over three hundred chests of tea into the sea. The “Boston Tea Party” sparked the American War of Independence.-

The first shipment of tea to Canada was sent to York Factory on Hudson’s Bay in 1715. But bad weather made it necessary to turn the ship back and the tea didn’t reach Canada till the fol- lowing year.

Tea went into the endless, roll- ing plains of the Canadian West with the pioneers in their lumber- ing ox carts. A refreshing cup of tea was one of the greatest comforts in their hard lives.

Nobody enjoys a cup of tea more than Johnny Eskimo in Can- a-da’s far North. Indeed, it is said he drinks twice as much tea as the average Canadian. He drinks it‘ very strong and sweet, then eats the leaves.

Athletes of all kinds appreciate the refreshing lift that a cup of 168 gives. Professional hockey teams like the Detroit Red Wings Say drinking tea between PEI‘- iods both refreshes them and re- news their energy.

Sitting beside the fire, the stars twinkling overhead and branding _lll done for the day, the Canad- lan cowboy welcomes his mug of tea. Brewed black and strong in I battered can, it “hits the spot."

I The “tea break” is a part of

modern factory and office life.i

lworkers in every type Of. Canad_j ray plates and Christmas cards

ian industry find that after they have had a cup of tea, they go back to work refreshed.

Today tea is a popular bever- age the world over. In Japan, however, the simple act of drink- ing tea has become an elaborate ceremony. With the Japanese ev-. ery step in the preparation and drinking of tea has.a meaning. The pouring of the hot water, the position of the cups. the way the cup is raised to the drin-ker’s lips — everything must be car- ried out in a certain way. In fact, the proper method of serving tea has been a part of Japanese

' schooling, for over 400 years.

Far away in New Zealand and Australia, the beverage made from the tender tea leaves is es- pecially popular. There the sheep- herders on the range often brew it five times a day in blackened “billies.” . ’ , And, of course, tea is still the number one beverage of the Bri- tish Isl-es. mm the country cot- tage of the Irish farmer to the London apartment of the business man, tea time is almost a ritual.
