Read the excerpt from early victorian tea set. among the upper classes, tea had been popular since before 1700. it received celebrity endorsement from charles ii’s queen, catherine of braganza, and from queen anne. it came from china, it was expensive, refreshingly bitter and drunk in tiny cups without milk or sugar. people kept their tea in locked tea caddies, as if it were a drug; for those who could afford it, it often was. in the 1750s samuel johnson confessed himself a happy addict: a hardened and shameless tea drinker, who has for twenty years diluted his meals with only the infusion of this fascinating plant, whose kettle scarcely has time to cool, who with tea amuses the evening, with tea solaces the midnights, and with tea welcomes the morning. macgregor’s main purpose in providing the quote is to explain why only the upper classes could afford to drink tea. express his viewpoint on the importance of drinking tea often. illustrate how celebrities preferred their tea with sugar and milk. support his statement that people locked away their tea like it was a drug.
