David Olusoga will present a talk titled A Global History of the British Cup of Tea at De Montfort Hall in Leicester on 28 April 2027. This event is part of his promotion for the new series A House Through Time. Tickets are priced from £28.50.
Ahead of his new series. A House through Time, David Olusoga has announced a brand new talk - A Global History Of The British Cup Of Tea!
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 much 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.
