It  is Britain’s national drink and second only to water as the most popular  beverage in the world.

yet it has inspired  artistic expression, cultural customs and national identities.

Learn about the production of tea, from the people who work on the  plantations to the processes involved in making the tea that is widely  

consumed today.

Enjoyed by billions of people, alone or together, with milk or  cinnamon or salted butter –
