Tea in Strange Places – Scotland
As most of us are probably aware, they drink their fair share of tea in the United Kingdom, where the Irish are counted among the world’s top tea drinkers. UK tea drinkers are said to put away about 165 million cups of tea each and every day. The Scottish drink a good bit of tea… Continue reading

Taking Tea in France
Unless I missed a memo at some point I’m pretty sure that when it comes to beverages the French are not known for tea, but for one thing – wine.

By now I’m sure we all know how tea drinking got its start – or at least we know how the most popular legend about this subject goes.
