About This Event

A History of Tea is a forthcoming talk at Gladstones Land in Edinburgh, scheduled to take place on 18 September 2026. The event is part of the series A Guide to British Tea Culture. The price for the event has not been specified.

A Guide to British Tea Culture “Tea is one of the mainstays of civilisation in this country” writes George Orwell in 1946. But when and how did the British develop such an affinity for a drink that they had to travel half across the world to obtain? And how has tea time become such a staple of the British cultural identity? Gladstone’s Land cordially invites you to a very special tea party indeed where our storytellers share the fascinating story of tea over a cup of tea. Or two. Or three.

Description supplied by the event organiser.
