  • Summary

  • Tea drinking in Britain was once a ritual, an institution. Tea was pivotal in two British wars, one with the embryonic USA, the other, China. Today, most tea is tasteless piss - a bag of dust dipped in a mug of boiled water - although grand old tea shops, like Betty's in Harrogate, try to maintain some standards, and hold back the rising tide: of coffee.
