In earlier times, sea transport was slow, taking at least half a year for tea to travel from its origin in China to London. Coupled with high shipping costs, tea was an extremely luxurious item reserved for nobility in early Europe. Later, in the early 18th century, to meet domestic demand for tea, Britain established frequent trade relations with China. The British have a 300-year history of drinking black tea and are the world's largest importer of black tea. For the British, tea is an essential part of daily life; statistics show that 66% of Britons drink an average of 4 cups of tea daily—morning tea, mid-day tea, afternoon tea, and evening tea. The average Briton consumes about 1500 cups of black tea annually. Annie believes this is one of the reasons why English bone china is so renowned and its designs so diverse. Therefore, regardless of anything else, acquiring a tea set is a wonderful way to create an elegant and joyful tea-drinking experience amidst our busy modern lives. ^^~ Please read "About Me" before placing a bid.
