The British do love their tea! I am amazed they thought about making sure they had it throughout the war. I have read Orwell's essay on tea, but I definitely did not know the Keep Calm and Carry On was from a war propaganda poster which was never released.

I never did find a really good cup of coffee in England or Ireland. I have found either green tea or Irish breakfast tea to be a welcome break from coffee.
