Tea

Arthur, we are so thrilled to have you here today.

Congratulations on the new book.

Tell us why now? What was your motivation for writing this now?

Well, I've done 50 years with the first book by Prince Charles 50 years ago, June 1976.

And I was having lunch with a couple of people, Les Hinton, Trevor Kavanagh, and they were saying, you're crazy, you've got to do it, you've got to do it.

And I've been putting it off for a while.

And my dear friend Mike Ridley is retiring.

And he helped me, you know, and we spent the summer doing it.

Yep.

Tea cannot be tea without

water.

And I've had enough.

about.

It says, like, would you rather ask the bone carver a question or have tea with the cereal?

Tea.

It's

The herb rosemary has very complex flavor.

Tea has very complex flavor on its own.

So just because something has complex flavor doesn't mean it's complicated to work with for sure.

And you notice all that complexity again by like slowing down and taking some time with it, sniffing it before you sip it.

I know.

Tea's ready.

Right.

So I'm trying to figure out the age of this guy.

No, no honey.

Tea's gross.

And tea's gross and honey's gross.

Yeah, tea's

no good.

Tea's no good.

If you drink tea, you're done.

If you drink tea, you're done.

Coffee started at 60 cups and rose to 110.

Tea started at 90 cups and fell to 75.

The numbers are right.

And here we see information about coffee and then tea.

Halfway through the week, the two drinks meet and swap places.

And there are a few good words for that moment.

On Thursday, coffee overtook tea, with 95 cups sold to Teas 78.

Overtake means something that was behind moves in front, like a car overtakes another car on the road.

Yeah.

Tea's all gone.

Oh, well.

Oh, my God.

So I'm going to sit here and poured myself a cup of coffee because I'm kind of back to drinking coffee a little bit.

Tea's just not cutting it, kids.

And it's been so long.

I didn't even know what to share with all of you.
