GEOGRAPHICAL TEA MAPS

As Georges ancestors sailed the seven seas, probably looking for the worlds ultimate thirst slaying beverage, they redrew the perspective which we all view the worlds landlines. I, of course, rewrite history to suit myself, and this little old website.

It was in fact rumoured that tea itelf did not as if by magic just appear on the shelf at Sainsburys, by was actually grown and processed on the other side of the globe. "Pah!" said I, waving away such nonsense. I didnt really care where it came from, as long as I was able to obtain it. Like any addict, I dont want to know about the growing and the dealing. I just want a quick fix, and no police involvement. Tea anyone?

This old and faded geographical tea map is just the generally accepted half truth, and there are many more Tea growing territories in the world. For instance, my once favourite Tea, PG, is grown in Kenya, Africa. Some might even be grown in Kew Gardens, London. But wherever this damn Tea originates, the real problem is, of course, how to get the Tea from A to B, or the Tea to Me, as it were. Now, one could always ship it via the Cape of No Hope, or even via those secret silk road Tea route trails. Who knows. All I know that this beautiful stuff materializes back in blighty, ready for my overconsumption. I thank all those people around the world, whoever you are, for your efforts in securing me the elixir of life. I hope you are well. Cheers!
