Who put the 'T' in Tea

Tea is the undoubted staple of the Englishman's (or woman's) diet, its even been proven to be good(ish) for us. Excellent! But is it merely its history or its anti-oxidants that keep us hooked? Or does its popularity have a darker side?? I believe our tea drinking habits are being manipulated by (drum roll please) ... Alliteration. There are no tea brands in Britain that don't have any T's in them. They've all got at least one. Think about it...
