## Resource

The podcast episode presented by Jennifer English on BC Food News explores the deep-rooted British love for tea, delving into how and why tea drinking becomes a lifelong habit for many Brits from an early age. Grounded in a study by the UK Tea and Infusions Association, the episode uncovers how tea drinking often begins in school years and continues to be an integral part of daily routines, providing comfort and fostering connections. It also highlights the role of tea in British culture, with many associating it with family traditions, socializing and bridging generational gaps. The study illuminates that morning is the preferred time to consume tea, with the majority preferring to enjoy it at home. The podcast ends on a celebratory note for International Tea Day, acknowledging the evolution of tea habits throughout a person's life, and its unique place in the hearts of the British people.
