In a world where the British Empire once ruled supreme, tea became the lifeblood of the nation. From the crème de la crème of Buckingham Palace to the humblest of high streets, the aroma of steaming cups wafted through every corner of the land, binding the people together in a shared sense of... well, not quite superiority, but definitely a strong sense of "we're all in this together-ness".
From Earl Grey to English Breakfast, the varieties of tea are as endless as the Empire's reach. And let's not forget the biscuits – oh, the biscuits! Crumbly, crunchy, and oh-so- British.
