Set amongst the atmospheric tea warehouses of Butlers
Wharf, Tower Bridge, the museum covers Britains great
heritage in tea. The period 1650 to 1950 covers the
trade's involvement with ceramics, smuggling, auctions,
Boston Tea Party, Opium, clipper ships, the development
of Indian and Ceylon tea and the UK tea companies. The
past 50 years explain why 90% of tea is in tea bags,
but why leaf tea is still popular. Quality leaf tea is
available in the tea room and shop.
