Did you know there was a time when you could only buy green tea in the UK? Tea is now a staple product for most of us, but it has a long and complicated past.

In this episode of All Consuming, Charlotte Stavrou (n茅e Williams) and Amit Katwala steep themselves in the intriguing history of tea. They talk to advertising expert Paul Feldwick to get the inside story of how chimps were used to advertise the drink, historian Jane Pettigrew explains how tea reached our shores from China, and we also delve into the links between tea and sympathy with psychologist Dr Andrea Shortland.
