    The history bits from the 18th century to today really brought the whole ritual to life, and I loved how the instructor connected it all to culture. It felt like a proper class, not just a slideshow, and I've already started dropping fun facts at every tea I go to.

    Kevin F. ★★★★★

    I was honestly surprised by how much ground it covers—going from the 18th century right up to modern-day tea culture kept me hooked for the full session. The way she breaks down the social impact of afternoon tea made me see my own tea routine in a completely different light.

    The way @raretealady ties the history right through from the 1700s to today makes the whole thing feel like a story, not a lecture. I’ve already rewatched the section on Victorian social customs twice because it was that engaging.
