A Glimpse into the History of Tea
Tea, believed to have been discovered in ancient China, has a history that spans over 5,000 years. From the delicate ritual of a traditional Japanese tea ceremony to the robust flavours of an Indian chai, tea has played a pivotal role in shaping cultures, trade, and diplomacy worldwide.
In Britain, tea became a beloved beverage in the 17th century, with teatime rituals becoming a part of daily life. Tea-drinking ceremonies, such as afternoon tea, soon emerged as a way to gather, socialise, and savour a moment of tranquillity in the bustling day.
