The Nation That Connects Over A Cuppa: Tea Brings Brits Together

Tea was created more than 5000 years ago in China.

The first book about tea was written by Lu Yu in 800 A.D

97.5% of tea purchased in the UK comes in tea bags.

By the mid 18th c. tea replaced ale & gin as the drink of the masses to become Britain's most popular beverage.

Tea firstly appeared in Europe thanks to Portuguese Jesuit Father Jasper de Cruz in 1560.
