Tea  didn’t  originally  come  from  Britain  as  it  was  imported  in  the  early  1600’s  but  only  began  being  sold  in  a  tea  rooms  in  the  early  17-­‐1800’s.  Even  though  tea  was  originally  from  Asia,  we  seem  to  have  become  a  nation  that  is  somehow  dependant  on  this  tradition  and  haven’t  stopped  drinking  it  since.    The  first  tea  drinking  started  off  in  London  and  was  served  in  ‘  Tea  Gardens  ’.  At  the  tea  gardens  there  would  be  fireworks,  dancing  and  then  the   evening  would  be   finished  off  with   tea   for   everyone.     This  would  happen  on  Saturdays   and  Sundays.  Then   tearooms   came  about  which  only  served  tea  to  favourite  customers  and  was  an  expensive  treat,  but  then  was  requested  by  the  lower  class  and  people  with  less  money  which  led  to  people  as  a  whole  drinking  tea.        Throughout  Yorkshire  we  all  enjoy  a  cup  of  tea    every  day  whether  its  in  a  café,  at  home,  work  or  on  the  go.  You  can  get  a  cup  of  tea  from  pretty  much  anywhere  in  Yorkshire.  Tea  fits  every  occasion  and  unites  people  together.  Whether  your  having  a  bad  day  or  good  day  tea  is  always  the  answer,  we  raise  a  cup  to  good  news  or  accept  bad  news,  or  even  drink  to  just  simply  pass  the  day  by.  Everybody  prefers  their  tea  in  different  ways  strong  or  weak,  milky,  sugar  or  no  sugar  etc.  The  ritual  that  we  practise  drinking  tea  also  varies  in  the  people  for  example  in  Betty’s  Tea  Room  ,  your  pot  of  tea  is  accompanied  with  a  pot  of  hot  water,  a  tea  strainer,  jug  of  milk,  and  sugar  cubes.  Whereas  at  home  or  at  a  friends  you  have  all  the  ingredients  in  the  tea  before  you  have  even  sat  down.        You  can  buy  a  tea  for  one  pound  in  Leeds  market  but  compared  to  tea  in  Betty’s  you  would  be  charged  six  pounds.    This  reflects  the  cost  of  inner  city  living  where   less   affluent   people  may   live   in   poorer   living   conditions   and   have   less  means   than   an   area   such   as  Harrogate  which   have   a   higher  standard  of  living.  In  the  contrast  of  places  tea  also  has  a  different  function,  as  in  Betty’s  the  tea  will  be  a  afternoon  treat,  Leeds  market  on  the  other  hand  would  be  a  cuppa  to  keep  you  warm  or  to  keep  you  going  whilst  shopping.      In  this  set  of  images  Hollie  Bevis  explores  the  world  of  tea  rooms    throughout  Yorkshire  by  visiting  small  tea  rooms    and  cafés  in  Pudsey,  Harrogate  and  Leeds.  The  photographs  explore  and  find  out    if  tea  is  still  as  traditional  as  it  used  to  be  or  if  the  traditions  have  changed.
