Tea anyone?

Wanting desperately to share this with my fellow tube passengers this morning, who coincidently were having none of it, I thought I’d enlighten your tea-drinking lives and give you some fabulous party season chatter to fill those awkward silences.

In the Metro this morning there was a section about the tea bag, and I found it fascinating that the tea bag itself was, like all massive inventions, accidentally created. Although tea itself was said to be used as early as 2737BC, it was only 1904 when importer Thomas Sullivan went cheap, that tea bags were first conceived. Instead of forking out for canisters, he tucked his tea leaves in silk bags. The drinkers dunked the whole bag in their cuppa, and the concept of tea in a bag was created. Now go fourth and spread your knowledge.
