Default I had no idea tea was so trendy

Precisely why I almost never order hot tea in American restaurants.
However, in London, and for 35 pounds (64+ US dollars), the tea had
better be outstanding. If it isn't, the customers are being thoroughly
fleeced.

BTW, I am surprised there hasn't been more comment on the price.
For 64 USD, I can get a very good dinner in a very good restaurant
here in the US. It is mind-boggling that people wait in a 6-week
queue to pay that much for afternoon tea in London.
