Glasgow has a great a nity with tea, both as tea drinkers & innovators - hear about Thomas Lipton, Stuart Cranston, Kate Cranston & the role of the Clyde!</span></p><p><span><span>Our talk will give an insight into how Glasgow took the lead in so many ways in the history of the tea industry. The birthplace in 1848 of one of the most successful tea exporters and importers, Sir Thomas Lipton, the company today still sells over ten million cups a day in America! Hear about how we built some of the finest Clippers that conveyed tea across the seas and how some of these won many prizes in the �Great Tea Race�. The talk will tell the story of how Glasgow invented the tearoom and brought the gentlemen out of ale houses into a whole new world for conducting their business matters. The sites where the trades were located are significant to the history of Glasgow - Stuart Cranston opened up his first tea shop in St Enoch's Square, which was built on the ancient burial site of Glasgow's patron saint's mother's grave, one of the most sacred sites in the city dating back to the 6th century. Glasgow was once known as the tea Tokyo of the west and over 200 years later tea is still being enjoyed on one of Glasgow's finest streets in one of its most established tea houses, The Willow Tea Rooms on Buchanan Street.</span></span></p><p><strong><br /><br /></strong></p></div></div></div></div>
