In 1662, the English King Charles II married the Portuguese Princess Catharine of Braganza, who introduced tea drinking at court. The London aristocracy was quick to adopt the drink, as it was rare and expensive, and provided them with a new way to assert their exclusiveness. Fine ladies kept their tealeaves in small locked caddies, and would only serve tea to their most important guests. Teapots during this period were small, reflecting the high cost of tea.
