And as with all things that we don't question much, the invention of black tea was born out of necessity.
Though the days when tea drinking was more about the nutritional benefits of milk and sugar in each cup are gone, the teas that Britons have always known best remain black teas.
Fortunately they've become increasingly fine, and they don't even need milk and sugar to be enjoyed.
We make teas to suit tea drinking in all its variety, from loose leaf to teabags. Our range covers the full panoply of tea drinking from the classic British black teas to South African Rooibos, from Japanese Sencha to White Jasmine.
We even make tea gifts, seasonal tea collections and tea accessories.
