You Can't Buy Pyramid Teabags in Egypt - Jeremy O'Donnell

Jeremy O’Donnell has drunk tea and performed comedy in cities from Beijing to Zurich, and now reveals tea’s dark past - from its discovery five thousand years ago, to Cutty Sark, an arranged Royal wedding and the Boston Tea Party.

The humorous show covers tea’s health benefits, has some speech writing advice for David Cameron, and tries to answer the greatest unanswered question of them all… Is it milk in first or second?
