How did tea become so popular in England? Its all about tradition and sometimes its about people breaking with tradition. "Long before afternoon tea became a beloved tradition, tea was often enjoyed in London's bustling coffee houses. Since women were rarely welcomed there, Thomas Twining began selling his blended teas to be enjoyed at home, helping tea become a part of everyday British life." The original twining shop front, opened in 1706, is still operating on Strand in London : a 'must visit' for any tea lovers planning a trip to London this year.
