Read the excerpt from "Early Victorian Tea Set."
What could be more domestic, more unremarkable, more
British, than a nice cup of tea? You could of course put the
question the other way round and ask what could be less
British than a cup of tea, given that tea is made from plants
grown in India or China and often sweetened by sugar from
the Caribbean. It is one of the ironies of British national
identity – or perhaps it says everything about our national
identity - that the drink which has become the worldwide
caricature of Britishness has nothing indigenous about it, but
is the result of centuries of global trade and a complex
imperial history

What is the author’s viewpoint in this excerpt?

Indian tea is more delicious than tea from China.

Drinking tea is very popular in the Caribbean.

Many people around the world now drink tea, but Britain
was the one to make it popular.

It is ironic that tea is the symbol of Britain when tea does
not come from Britain at all.
