Tea is a drink made from the infusion in boiling hot water of the dried leaves of the tea tree or shrub (Camellia sinensis) which is cultivated in China, Japan, India, Sri Lanka and other parts of the world. Tea may be drunk with a little added milk, or with a slice of lemon, or on its own, and there are various varieties of tea including: black, green, gunpowder tea and white teas. When making tea, it is important to use fresh water and boil it once only. Repeated boiling removes the oxygen from the water and impairs the taste of the tea subsequently infused with it.
The drinking of tea was first introduced to England during the mid-17th century from China, when it was then known as 'tee', drunk by the cup, and described as a drink from China.
On June the 29th, 1767, at the instance of Lord North, the British Parliament passed an act levying a high duty on tea imported into the colonies. In 1769 the citizens of Boston, Massachusetts sent vigorous resolutions to the King denouncing this act. It was partially repealed in 1770, but the East India Company was later assisted by the Government in shipping a surplus quantity of tea to Boston. On December the 1st, 1773, the citizens of Boston held a meeting to consult concerning the most effectual method of preventing the landing of this tea. Another meeting was held on December the 10th, and parties of citizens disguised as Mohawk Indians, made a raid upon the vessels and threw the tea overboard - an event which has since become known as the 'Boston Tea Party'. In several of the other American colonies the landing of tea was prohibited and the cargoes sent whence they came.
