9. A Nice Cup of Tea
Can Sathnam Sanghera figure out how tea became such a central part of life in Britain?
George Orwell described tea as 鈥渙ne of the mainstays of civilization in this country.鈥�
But how did this foreign plant become so British?
Sathnam Sanghera speaks to Orwell expert Jean Seaton, cultural historian Kate Teltscher, and ramblers with flasks of tea in the Peak District, to try and figure out how and why tea became a national obsession.
