I’m a fan of all things tea – though growing up in London it was always called a cup of cha and now I’m in Shanghai and it’s a cup of cha once again! Happen to be reading Sarah Rose’s new book For All the Tea in China: Espionage, Empire and the Secret Formula of the World's Favourite Drink while having a cup of tea (M&S for the record).
