56 French enjoyed a talk on tea tasting and a chance to actually taste them ably hosted by Richard Bradshaw tea and coffee merchant at the Village Hall on Friday 27th April. Many interesting facts about tea emerged. Did you know that the reason the British add milk is because tea would be packed with pigs' bristles and the taste consequently ruined so milk was added to make it potable? Teas tasted were Yunnan, Assam, Darjeeling and Ceylon.
The event was organised by Buntingford Twinning Association as part of the 5-day visit by our twinning friends from Luynes, France.
