Description

Ever since tea seeped its way into British society, it's plunged its grip into the hearts and minds of Brits everywhere. Tea is the nectar that classically stereotypes British civility and culture. The Bramah Tea & Coffee Museum explores the history and influence of the drink from the Orient. Established by the eccentric tea and coffee expert, Edward Bramah, the museum was originally housed in an old tea factory on Butler's Wharf where original shipments of tea were brought in and distributed throughout London. It later moved closer to the Tate Modern in Southwark where it fared much better. Bramah himself was trained as a tea tester in Malawi until his fascination turned towards coffee. A popular aspect of the museum is the Tea Room where you can get a full tea service including sandwiches, crumpets, and various quintessential fare associated with English teatime.
