The British and Their Undying Love for Tea

There are many things that the United Kingdom is known for, but one stereotype that consistently rings true is the British love affair with tea. This infatuation with tea was so intense that it inadvertently led to the creation of the world’s largest tea party when soon-to-be Americans dumped 342 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor. 

Unbeknownst to them, they had transformed the harbor into a colossal cup of tea. It wouldn’t be surprising if the Queen herself had a good chuckle at this unintentionally amusing act of defiance.
