Description: Background films for Channel 4 series on 'The Day the World Took Off' shown in 2000. With thanks to Windfall Films.

The spread of tea throughout Europe is described by Alan Macfarlane, and its final movement to India where it was drunk from the twentieth century is recounted. Now it is the most universal drink on the planet (apart from water) and perhaps one of the most important medical substances on earth.
