British people are big tea drinkers. It is a tradition in Britain to drink tea for many reasons. People enjoy it at breakfast, during visits with friends, and on tea breaks at work. People even "have a cuppa" when they talk about their personal problems. But the biggest reason for drinking tea is to relax.
Recently, a research from the Tea Group shows that more people would like to choose fruit and other teas over traditional English breakfast tea. Researchers did a survey of more than 2,000 tea lovers. Over 50% of people said their favourite tea was not the traditional one. Over 20% of people chose green tea as their favourite tea. Just over 20% said English breakfast tea was their first choice.
Sales of traditional tea in the UK are declining (下降) during these years. Three years ago, a survey found that English breakfast tea was the preferred (更喜欢的) choice for 54 % of British people. But the new research shows a declining interest in this traditional tea.
The researchers also found other interesting facts about tea-drinking habits (习惯) in the UK. The British seem to love milky and sugary tea. Around 85 % of people who drink English breakfast tea would like to put milk in it. About 45% of people sweeten their tea with sugar, and interestingly, those with a sweet tooth put as much as three teaspoons of sugar in their cup.
