Though he’s been in the business for half a century, it was only in the early 1990s that Edward Bramah, a former tea taster, set up this unusual museum to chart the history of tea and coffee drinking. The new premises allow the two infusions to be studied separately, and their important role in British society to be documented. There’s also an impressive collection of coffee makers and teapots (including the world’s largest) and a cafÈ where you can try out the real thing.
