You're Dead to Me · Why do British people love tea? (from Here For The History) · 19 Jun 2026 podcast

They'd rather people be naked and drink tea than, basically.

Absolutely.

And you can see for the last 200 years, 300 years, perhaps, tea has actually been really integral to British history.

Today, it's grown all around the world, places like Africa and across Asia.

And actually, you even get tea in Britain.

There are, would you believe this, more than 50 tea growers in Scotland alone, which I don't know how they do that considering the climate, but fair play to the Scots for being excellent gardeners, I suppose.

But I suppose the big question is, what is the future of tea?

I mean, you're a coffee drinker.

Yeah.

I mean, I do think coffee is the sexier drink, I'd say.

You know, it's a bit cooler, whereas tea is so associated.

I mean, I'd still definitely have a cup of tea if I was going to a cathedral cafe or maybe... Every day.

Yeah, obviously.

That's what I spend most of my time doing.

But it's very much village teas.

And the great thing about tea is that you can have cake with it, so you can have cake and tea.

I think it's something that you have when you visit your granny, that kind of thing.

But it's more cozy, right?

If coffee's sexy, tea is cozy.

Herbal teas, aren't there?
