to each of the questions from.
TEA OR COFFEE
The Boston Tea Party did more than just helped start a war. It helped change the habits and taste of the North American
people. It turned tea drinkers into coffee drinkers.
Coffee and tea are both products of plants that grow in the tropics. When these beverages were introduced in Europe during
the 1600s, they became very profitable businesses.
Coffee reached England before tea did, but once the English tasted tea, it became a favourite mealtime drink. English
people were soon buying about two pounds of tealeaves per person per year.
English people who went to North America as colonists took along their taste for tea. They preferred it to coffee until, about
1773. In that year, the British Parliament passed the Tea Act, a law that helped to push the colonists into war against the mother
country. Among colonists, tea became a symbol of unfair taxation and England’s attempts to control all trading with the colonies.
The resentment of the colonists was so strong that one several groups of them boarded English ships in Boston Harbour and threw
holes of teas into the ocean. After this “Boston Tea Party” drinking tea was called unpatriotic by the colonists. They turned to coffee
as their beverage.
Today tea is still the favourite drink in England. On the other side of the Atlantic, things are different. The people of the
United States drink about three times as many cups of coffee as cups of tea.
