We are the 1ere 3-4 English Euro Section and on 21 October, we threw a tea party. But why? At the beginning of the year, we worked on the British\u2019s quintessential drink: tea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We found out that this supposedly respectable beverage hid a long history of espionage, industrial theft, wars and drugs and that tea played a decisive role in the building of the British Empire. With British adventurers, botanists and diplomats, we embarked on a journey to China, where tea originates from and discovered how tea thrived in India. Lastly, we observed the various ways tea was served depending on your social class.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to close the chapter, we decided to set up our very own afternoon tea party. Therefore, we brought a variety of British specialties such as finger sandwiches, the Victoria Sponge Cake and of course tea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This get-together allowed us to share a relaxing and fun experience with our classmates, while remaining in the theme and soaking up British culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
