Did you know..... Although the history of the tea cosy may have begun when tea was introduced to Britain in the 1660s, the first documented use of a tea cosy in Britain was in 1867. It was most likely the Duchess of Bedford who, by establishing the activity of afternoon tea in 1840, would have brought the popularity of the tea cosy. Afternoon tea was the time for socialising and keeping up to date with aristocratic gossip and topical news. With all the chatter at teatime, the teapot would get cold, which would have, at times, cut short some tea parties. And so, the tea cosy came about. Tea cosies then flourished during the late 19th century, when they appeared in many households across Britain, motivated by the obsession of decorating and covering objects characteristic of the Victorian era.
