IFN Food Safari: The Story of Tea

We have been drinking tea for over 350 years, however its origins go back a lot further. Tea originated in the 3rd Century AD as a medicinal drink in China before travelling to the rest of the world. Indians owe a massive thanks to Portuguese princess and tea addict, Catherine of Braganza, for introducing us to the world of Chai. This latest IFN Food Safari is a story of how tea travelled from China to the rest of the world. #31DaysofChai

Experience the culture, history and intensely colourful world of Indian food and drink on the IFN Food Safari. Each episode is a zesty narrative that brings the stories behind the food to life.
