  By 秋宓

  英國人早午晚均有茶相伴，讓人覺得他們三分之一的生命都消耗在飲茶中了。17世紀，茶正式傳到英國，自此上至皇室貴胄，下至工人農夫，全都為茶著迷。大型帆船運來一箱箱茶葉，孕育了福南梅森、川寧等茶葉品牌，五星級酒店裏都有茶室，女王、王妃更是座上客。 英式下午茶當然少不了茶點，三層蛋糕架可以說是標準搭配。講究的英國人注重禮儀︰進食點心的順序、怎樣切開英式鬆餅等等，都有規矩可循。19世紀時更針對先加奶還是先加茶展開調查，可見他們飲茶之精。 英國不產茶，茶的人均消費量卻佔全球首位，英式下午茶更成為英國的標誌。本書分享了茶在英國扎根的歷史、趣聞、著名下午茶茶室、知名茶品牌和茶種類、下午茶點食譜，以及關於英式下午茶的那些事。
