Many believe tea drinking began about 5000 years ago in China. Exiled emperor Shen Nung was boiling water when a breeze blew some leaves in. He drank it anyway, and liked its relaxing effect. It took thousands of years for tea to reach Europe. Britain didn't start taking tea until 1662, when King Charles II's new wife, Princess Catherine, brought her tea drinking habit over from Portugal. We join the story in 1886 when a sensible fellow called Charles Taylor found that different regions had different water, which affected the taste of their tea. His bespoke regional blends, perfected over the years by experts like Jim Raleigh here, gave rise to the blends we make today - so you can enjoy a proper brew wherever you live. We are a member of Ethical Tea Partnership. Blended and packed in England.
