Featuring heavily in modern ideas of British traits, tea is consumed daily by millions. Dictating British foreign policy, inspiring fashions and generating whole industries, tea has played a key part in our history. As a drink, tea has also formed the basis of afternoon tea, tea dances and other social gatherings, lending it even greater cultural significance. Moving from eastern origins to British staple, this course offers a brief history of this fascinating drink and the rituals and social changes surrounding it.
This course will be delivered via Zoom. Students joining the course will need access to a computer, laptop or tablet with a microphone (essential) and a webcam (desirable) as well as a reliable broadband connection.
