You can read about England’s shift from drinking predominantly coffee to tea in Michael Pollan’s new book: This is Your Mind on Plants. The shift happened because England colonized India and had access to a lot more tea this way than coffee. This brought the price of tea way down and supported the shift. Super fascinating read and I highly recommend it!
That does sound interesting. I'm Zimbabwean and my country is a former British colony. We don't have afternoon tea but we're definitely more tea than coffee people. My grandma loved her tea and so do I
I've been watching Jenn for nearly ten years and is by far my most favourite youtuber but Ben as a fellow Brit myself you are coming very very close and I just wanted to say I appreciate these videos, they are so delightful and positive! Congratulations to you both! x
Ello mate! Always nice to have another Brit here. Thank you so much for the kind words and for being so loyal to my wife! Although i'm now going to compete with her to try and make me your favorite now! X
I love how Ben gives out life advice here and there, peppered throughout the content. It's what makes me coming back, when I need a pick me up on a slow day, or just a break from working on the screen, even in the background as I'm doing some cleaning. Quality lifestyle content y'all.
I love this type of personality. Like, I'm too introverted but this personality gives me energy. I want to be around it. I want to exude this positivity and energy.
I like how you position the food to face the viewer, makes us feel like we're sitting across from Jen and you for some nice tea. The egg salad recipe is so creative, I've never made it this way and it's one of my favorite things.
I come for the food and stay for both the food and the motivational talks. You have got to be one of the most mindful, introspective people I've ever watched and I just love hearing what you have to say about life and the mind, seriously if you had a mindfulness podcast or even a book, I'd be the first person to listen/read it! Because of the little things you say in your videos, you've inspired me to reflect more and become more mindful, so thank you SO much for sharing these things with us! You have so much life and energy and are such a joy to watch! Looking forward to the next video :)
Wow. Audrey, thank you so much for these kind words. The whole reason I started this channel was to put good energy out there and try and help others feel positive about themselves and life. So these comments mean so much, so thank you. You should give yourself credit too because it takes courage to want to look deeper inside and work on our mindset. The more you do it the better life gets, simple. Take care, Audrey!
‘What decision is coming from a place of love and what is coming from a place of fear?’ Well posed question! ESP in light of parenting. Going through postpartum anxiety myself, it was so difficult to separate those feelings. Sending thoughts and prayers to you three in these irreplaceable early days!
Also, I love your commentary on how we tend to discourage ourselves from doing something because we believe that we can’t or aren’t good enough! I do this sometimes too but I’ve started to get out of this mindset which is just super liberating! I’m trying to be less perfection based these days. Thanks for the talk! :)
Isn't it so interesting how much our priorities change when you have little humans that depend on you. I always get so teary eyed when you guys talk about your baby 🥺
I just need this SANDWICH!! Thank you for reminding me of this, Ben. "It's just about doing it, trying it, taking it one step at a time, trying not to look at the overall picture, because it can get overwhelming."
I really enjoy the bit of philosophical tangents that you go on, Ben. I am not in the best mental state so I’ve been struggling to read books that you have recommended, but I feel like you still share bits and pieces of your wisdom with us and they are so reassuring. Thank you always for all the effort you put into your videos despite all the stress of taking care of your family and yourself. I will forever support you and Jenn.
I appreciate that uplifting message - to appreciate the little things in life, and every step of the way, and keep trying for it! It’s very relatable to me as this moment in my life. Thank you! I really enjoy these side inspirational messages!
You two (now three) are honestly such an inspiration and a burst of energy to the world around you. Just the way you see the world has so many lessons to offer to your viewers. To be able to learn from your content and apply it to our lives positively is truly most beautiful part of content creation. Thank you for all the beautiful words imparted esp while the world is gg thru so much. Lots of love Ben xxx
Not me frantically googling reservations for afternoon tea... thanks for the ray of sunshine in an otherwise rainy day here in the south west of England! Sending lots of love and positivity to your lovely family
That setup (and all the food) looks amazing! The way Ben does the presentation for the food is always so open and like satisfying to look at, if that makes any sense
Haha impeccable timing Ben! I'm also a Brit and I made tea and toast then saw you uploaded so I'm enjoying my cuppa with your video! Tea is life! I did decide to have a PG tips rn but I'm also partial to a Sainsbury's Earl Gray 🫖 Jenn's a lucky girl, that afternoon tea looks yummm!! 💞
i love what u said ben about how we tend to back out of things when we put our minds in that place. although im only 20 years old, ive learned that everything becomes a lot easier once u start. i love these cooking videos mixed with sprinkles of life advice :) please never stop making these videos they're so calming and fun to watch
Very rarely do I click off a video and feel this motivated, inspired and content even with our complicated little lives. ❤️ Cant wait to try this out and I’m loving the energy Ben!!
Oh my gosh I’m going to do this! I love tea! And you’re right it feels like it’s so much but it’s really not too difficult and you get to enjoy it afterwards while feeling a bit fancy! :) thanks for the video Ben!
Love how the food was set and the calming atmosphere 😌 👍❤️ made me want to have some tea ☕ 😘 Thank you for possessing such positivity and keeping everyone going 😊 Love you, Jenn&Ben&Len 😩❤️🔥
i started reading the tone of teaching for a early childhood education course i think its a great one to remind ourselves of the tone we should take in different aspects of a childs life
I need to go and get myself a cup of tea now. Oh I miss having afternoon tea with friends. My favourite place to for a proper English Afternoon Tea here in Melbourne, Australia is Miss Marple's Tearoom. They have the best chicken pot pie, mushroom soup and scones that are so fluffy and literally the size of a large orange, and their 'Yorkshire Gold' loose leave tea. I need to try and recreate your English Afternoon Tea to experience it before i can meet up with friends again, but first, I want to get a tiered plate. Cheers! 😙☕👌
Really thank u for this video, when I saw the pictures of this on ig I was really wishing you recorded how to make this wonderful English afternoon tea 😊👏🏻👌🏼
I love your cooking, and your motivational speaking. And you know what, I can do this. O can bloody do this. That is right I am good enough. Gonna focus on what I can. Do next and not what I can do for the next 50 years. Freaking amazing btw
YESSSS! I was waiting for what feels like forever for this. I'm so happy : D I also appreciate the Love vs. Fear concept. I always think back to Donnie Darko when I hear that

"You can't calm the storm but you can calm yourself because you know the storm will pass". Beautifully said Ben!
I love how Ben throws in those UK flags every chance he gets 😆

Thanks Utsha! Appreciate you X
Not only a chief, a motivational speaker, a friend... but most importantly a father ~

This was beautiful! Pls continue what you are doing Ben and Jen. You guys are a light! 🤧🤍

i love your body movements when you speak, especially the head bobble it's so cute 🥰
Ben I would love to listen your podcast if you’re thinking about it doing one please do it !
I just need this SANDWICH!! Thank you for reminding me of this, Ben.
