Description
xIt was customary for The East India Company to bring gifts for the Sovereign on ships returning from the East. However, in 1664, the Court of Directors were distressed to find that no provision of a gift for King Charles II had been made. Accordingly, two pounds of tea found on board was presented to the King, and so began a long Royal tradition of tea drinking.
