As it got cheaper, tea also spread rapidly to the working classes. By 1800, as foreigners remarked, it was the new

person in Britain was a staggering 6 lbs (3 kilograma) a
year. In 1809 the Swede Erik Gustav Geijer commented:
Next to water, tea is the Englishman's proper

tables set up under the open sky, around which coal
carters and workomen empty their cups of delicious
beverage
