Tea Ceremonies and Traditions Around the World


When we think of tea parties, we typically conjure images of fancy English ladies in stiff Victorian garb drinking Earl Grey from delicate china cups. However, England isn’t the only country that drinks this beverage. Below, learn about the ceremonies, customs and traditions from countries around the world.

1. England: Let’s start with our neighbors from across the pond. In England, people enjoy high tea in the afternoon. Since dinner is served around 8pm, people need a small meal between lunch and supper. This miniature meal could consist of light fare, such as cookies and crackers, or consist of heavier foods like bread, cheese and meats. From the Royal Family to the family next door, high tea transcends all of British culture.

2. China: The tealeaf is believed to have been discovered in China, and it has been a staple beverage in the country for centuries. The Chinese also incorporate tea into medicine, as it is believed to have medicinal properties and promote wellness.

3. Japan: Tea was introduced to Japan sometime in the 9th century. Japan is known for its green tea, called matcha. In Japan, people celebrate special tea ceremonies with varying degrees of formality. These ceremonies are more than just meals. The person serving the tea performs a series of complex rituals, called temae, from brewing the kettle to serving their guests.

4. Morocco: Known for its mint tea, or touareg, Morocco uses serving this hot beverage as a sign of respect, friendship and hospitality. Served in three phases with varying flavors, the ritual follows this proverb: “The first glass is as life, the second is as strong as love, the third as bitter as death.”

6. India: This subcontinent is the land of chai. A type of black tealeaf, this vibrant drink is best served with creamy milk, which serves to temper the beverage’s spiced notes. Other spices, including cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom and ginger can also be added.

7. Russia: Since Russia has a mostly cold climate, this is the popular drink of choice. In the 19th century, Russians drank their tea with a sugar cube between their teeth. The tradition Russian brewing device is called a samovar.

8. Argentina: Yerba mate is the national drink of Argentina. Although it is technically a type of plant that grows on a bush, it is prepared and drunk in a similar fashion. Yerba mate can be found in nations throughout South America.

9. Taiwan: Bubble tea is a modern take on a classic beverage. Bubble tea is made by dropping balls of tapioca into iced tea. Powdered milk and sugar are added for extra sweetness. Although hailing from Taiwan, it has become a trendy beverage in many Western countries as well.
