The Perfect Start To Every Day

I don’t know about you, but my day always starts with a cup of tea.  Regardless of the season, or my schedule, a cuppa is a must to get me on track for a busy day.  But did you know …..

·         The UK drinks 165 million cups of tea per day – that’s 62 billion cups per year! 

·         The UK tea market is worth circa £700 million annually 

·       The British East India Company started commercial tea production in the 1820s, planting a Chinese variety high in the hills of Darjeeling 

·       The English fashion for tea drinking began in the early 18^th Century, driven by the British East India Company, who imported tea to the UK 

·        During WW2, the tea ration was just 2oz (50g) per person, per week! 

and finally ….. 

The world is a far better place when you have a tea cosy!

 

 

Have a great day, and keep that kettle boiling!
