Time for Tea at Fairfax House |

|
Fairfax House |
|
£12.00
£10.00C |
 |
|
The drinking of tea is such a part of our culture today, it is difficult to imagine how rare and exotic it used to be. Tea was imported in small quantities, at a huge cost, but by the end of the 18thC, even the labourer in the fields would expect his cup of ‘cha’. Peter Brown explores the evolution of this phenomenon and concludes with a tea-tasting, courtesy of Taylors of Harrogate.
