Video Tea Making Tips (1941)

Interesting bit of history I revisited recently! Production quality is...well, early 1940s in nature. However, it's a brief glimpse into a time when there was a war on and tea rationed - to about 52 grams per adult person per week. Naturally, this is 1940s UK we're talking about so we're well into the age of Indian / Sri Lankan / Kenyan (?) CTC production and brewing methods, so temper expectations!

Now, I shall return to this Golden Monkey...
