PRESS RELEASE
The progress of this famous plant has been something like the progress of truth: suspected at first, though very palatable to those who had courage to taste it; resisted as it encroached; abused as its popularity semed to spread; and establishing in its triumph at last, in cheering the whole land from the palace to the cottage, only by the slow and resistless effects of time and its own virtues.
Edinburgh Review 1828
Who says that tea is bitter? It is as sweet as the shepherds purse.
Confucious, 600 BC
The fragrance of Earl Grey is said to imitate the essence of the armpits of sailors who smuggled early shipments of tea off boats at dock, so enamoured of the flavour had ladies become.
