Giles on the grand opening Whittard of Chelsea in USA :
The early English traders in their sailing boats found China. So the English took Hong Kong Island as their settlements because the Chinese wouldn't let them into mainland China.
They traded for anything they could get, be it silk, or jewels or tea. The English were trading back into England from the Far East with tea so we hit the tea culture first. Tea is well known for containing antioxidants. These antioxidants are, they are natural ingredients in the tealeaf. And it is particularly good for the health. And the body can absorb these antioxidants and polyphones. These antioxidants seem to have ability, if you like, to almost purify the body a bit. Certainly tea is a very good digestive. It will help the body not absorb too much fat from fatty foods. And help build up that sort of immune system to minor complaints and diseases.
When you think of a tea there are endless choices. It's almost like self-analysis isn't it? In other words come on what do I enjoy in life? Do I want red wine or white wine? We see you are able to make that a choice. Do I want a strong tea, a light tea, an herbal tea because I'm thinking of my health? |
