Tea tales

As the song goes, by Jack Buchanan, in England, “everything stops for tea”.

There is hardly anyone in the whole United kingdom who will ever deny a generous cup of tea. Tea has become more a way of the British lifestyle than a mere delicacy that they love to savour.

Today, British everyday life includes an afternoon tea time especially reserved for tea. And the love for tea has been observed in the British way of living since generations gone and many to come, as there had been tremendous variations observed in the way of tea making and its offering.

But what hasn’t changed a bit is the love for it in any region of the UK, and this household drink has expanded itself years back into the commercial and social context; by creating spaces that are specially dedicated to tea, its different types, and brewing methods. In the end, there isn’t any better thing than to have a place for tea amidst its lovers.
