Famous people talking about tea

We were talking around the office here at UKVending and trying to outdo each other with famous sayings and quotes about beverages the other day. We know how to have a good time at work! This led us to thinking what pearls of wisdom there are in some of these. Therefore this blog is going to be made up of the famous talking famously about their love of the infusion we call tea:
