Hi Everyone: My grandfather, William Clark, married Violet Lucy Streeter during WWI & lived in Hove. He worked for a time as a tea taster. Family legend claims he went to work wearing a top hat. He either went to port warehouses or onto ships to evaluate the cargo. I don't have a company name or location or time period (would be prior to family's emigration in 1921). Any suggestions where I could find out more? UK Tea Council website has only generic info. Melody Richardson          

There is a tea and coffee museum at Butlers Wharf in London. I've not visited as yet but intend to as my ancestors worked there. They may have a website if you google it.
