IntroductionChina is the homeland of tea, dating back to about five to six thousand years. And human cultivation of tea plants dates back three thousand years. The role of tea in the world history is fascinating. Tea from China along with her silk and porcelain, began to be known by the world over more than a thousand years ago and has since always been an important Chinese export. Geological and botanical evidence suggests the tea plant originated in the dense forest of the present province Yunnan, China. Yunnan is the world’s center of the species of the camellia genus of which tea (Camellia family) is a member, and other places of China were also found tea plants, such as Guizhou and Sichuang. As for their humid and warm climate, they are the ideal places for tea plants bringing up. The origin tea plant belongs to arboraceous type with big leaves, and whatever its shape and habit, it is different from the most of the worldwide tea plant. That is caused by soil, climate, and the amount of rain during the long time transplantation of tea. In total, all the types with big leaves vegetate in subtropical areas which have a cold winter. The phenomenon observes the rule of biological evolution: from junior to senior, from simplicity to plexity, from lower resistance to higher resistance. Nowadays, some wildly big plants of tea can be found in these places, basing on inpletely statistics, there are ten provinces and one hundred and ninetyeight places finding these wild tea plants.In the modern multiculture, for the sake of achieving crosscultural munication, we must properly evaluate our own culture and have a correct view of other people’s culture. In the same time, we should retain our own cultural characteristics and learn from others’ advantages for updating our own cultural deficiencies. In this thesis, the writer will mainly analyze one branch of culture—teadrinking culture. China is the earliest country to discover and use tea. It has a long and profound history about the tea culture. However, the native land of Britain does not product tea, and it is the world’s largest country of per capita consumption of tea. Using this exotic product, the British shapes their own unique culture of the black tea, for example, the world’s famous Afternoon Tea. What’s the difference between the two? The writer’s intention of this thesis is to discuss the problem.The writer will depart the thesis into four parts: the introduction, brief review of teadrinking, parison of teadrinking culture between China and Britain, and the conclusion. And hoping this thesis will arouse more people’s interests in tea culture, also helping them further understanding of the different tea culture between China and Britain.II. Brief Review of Tea Drinking With a long history, tea is drunk with a beverage. Each year more than 80 percent of all China tea is made into green tea. The ancient Chinese had lost the track of tea39。s origin. According to Chinese mythology, in 2737 , the Chinese Emperor, Shen Nong, known as the father of agriculture and medicine, suddenly tasted boiling water which was added leaves of wild tea tree. When Shen Nong drank the infusion, he marveled at its delicious taste and felt vigorous. There is another account about this legend, it was said that Shen Nong risked his life to taste hundred kinds of herbs for the subject. Unfortunately, he was poisoned by some of them. It was the young leaves of tea that rescued him from danger. Later, tea drinking had been invented, and the emperor drank it from that day forward, remending this health herb to other people. Today, not only Chinese, but also foreigners love to drink tea. Drinking tea has bee a part of their life, especially in China and Britain. The following part will be talked about teadrinking39。 from the point of medicinal aspect, fresh leaves and dried leaves acpanied by ginger, pepper, orange peel and mint boil down into a soup for people drinking. And now this way was mainly concentrated in ethnic minority areas, for instance, Tibetan’s Suyoucha(酥油茶) is brick tea with salt, butter, milk, and so on, and the Ganwancha(蓋碗茶) of Hui nationality is tea brewed with longan and rock sugar, monly known as “ Sanxiangcha(三香茶)”. The second one is non mixed drinking, known as “Qingyin(清飲)” in Han nationality, that is the tea does not include any ingredients destroyed the fragrance and the flavor of tea, just making tea soup with boiling water. It inherits the tradition of Ming and Qing Dynasties.Initially, British were drinking green tea. Later, they changed it for drinking robust black tea with nutrient content. It was said that green teas were not easy to store and mu
