Show information
There is nothing more British than a cup of tea. Tea is our national drink; our national obsession. Yet the history of tea is the ultimate global story. It links over 350 years of British history to the histories of China, India, the Americas and beyond. It encompasses the Boston Tea Party, the Opium Wars, the history of the British East India Company, and more - it is a story that involves industrial espionage, a vast forgotten migration within India, and the creation in Britain of a whole new world of domestic traditions. In this brand-new talk, David Olusoga uses art, photography, history and humour to uncover the strange, unexpected, and intriguing history of our national drink.
