About Babingtons: 

In 1893, two English ladies, Isabel Cargill and Anna Maria Babington, decided to establish a tea room for the English-speaking community of Rome. At that time, tea was not common in Italy at all: it was only available in pharmacies. The risk paid off, however, and Babingtons Tearoom at Piazza di Spagna has been operating successfully ever since. Nowadays, the company is selling its excellent teas all over the world. As Chiara Bedini, the current co-owner of the tea company, puts it, “We don’t sell tea. We sell the unique experience and story of “Babingtons” in a cup.”
