21st July, 2008: George Orwell’s Nice Cup of Tea
There is a method to brewing your favorite tea as described in this previous Bigelow article and video by Cindi Bigelow but did you know that, on January 12, 1946 George Orwell outlined his own steps for making a “Nice Cup of Tea” in the Evening Standard. “…not only because tea is one of the main stays of civilization in this country, as well as in Eire, Australia and New Zealand, but because the best manner of making it is the subject of violent disputes…” If you would like to read more of this article it can be found re-produced in full at Essays and Journalism or, if you would like to view another quote from George Orwell, among others, you may refer to this previous Bigelow Blog article regarding quotes about tea.
Our appreciation goes out to It Happened in History for providing this image
