• The Story Of Mazawattee Tea James, Diana Mazawattee Tea - the name is still remembered in letters to the media and may even be found quoted in Nelson Mandela's recent autobiography. The once famous founding company, the Mazawattee Tea Company, was a seminal influence in the tea trade, and a parent to many Edwardian enterprises. Diana James has a family connection with this once great tea company - her great-grandfather founded the firm in the mid 1860s. From then until the Second World War, Mazawattee head office on Tower Hill, London, pioneered production and packaging of this noble beverage. The Story of Mazawattee Tea effortlessly charts the dramatic rise and fall of a great tea empire, providing a unique, idiosyncratic and rare insight into a remarkable British institution that is no more, but lives on in loving memory. It is lavishly illustrated in black-and-white and colour with historic photographs and examples of Mazawattee promotional memorabilia, now desirable collectables. Paperback. 65pp. 15cm by 21cm.
