Thanks to the dedication across generations, races and continents, tea – a humble leafy plant, managed to travel across lands and oceans and become the essence of a shared ritual around the world. From ancient caravans to royal courts, from the misty mountains of Yunnan to the bustling ports of London, this is the story of how tea conquered the globe - one sip at a time. Special thanks to Le Suna, Deputy Director and Research Curator of China National Tea Museum, whose expertise in the history of tea has greatly enriched this episode.
