In the 17th century, tea was introduced from China to England. At the same time as tea entered the UK, a large number of tea sets, furniture, and interior decorations also entered the UK. At the beginning of the formation of Tea in the United Kingdom, the British tried to imitate China in the way of drinking, the use of tea sets and the layout of tea space. They are passionate about drinking Chinese tea and are also fascinated by Chinese tea sets and furniture. This process has quietly changed the dietary habits, social habits, and aesthetic tastes of the British people, driving the development of the industry.
