WE DON'T need scientific studies to confirm we're a nation of tea-lovers ? because according to the UK Tea Council, we Brits get through 165 million cups a day.
What science can confirm, though, is that tea is officially good for us, in countless ways, from helping prevent stroke, type two diabetes and reducing stress.
"The British started drinking tea in the 17th century, when it was introduced by the Dutch and Portuguese," says Jane Pettigrew, a tea historian who's written a number of books on the topic, including A Social History Of Tea (Benjamin Press, ?18.99).
