Dr. Bombay’s Underwater Tea Party 1645 McLendon Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30307

China is the birthplace of tea, dating back to 2732 B.C.; the Dutch and Portuguese brought tea to Britain, and the British brought tea to the U.S. Afternoon Tea in Britain is served between breakfast and evening meal among the elite ladies. High Tea is served later, around 6 pm, with a full dinner, and is enjoyed by “the working class.” The infamous Boston Tea Party was not a party at all, but rather a part of a series of events that lead to the beginning of the American Revolution. Tea bags were developed in the U.S.; so was iced tea. Americans consume billions of iced tea each year.
