SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10
Tea—A Story Steeped in History
2:00 – 3:30 PM
Brenda R. Sullivan, Horticulturist, Lovedirt
Learn the complex history and controversies surrounding one of our most important plants, tea (Camellia sinensis). Steeped to produce the world’s most consumed man-made beverage, tea is an integral part of most world cultures, used for healing, meditation, and ceremonies. But while its caffeine helped inspire the Age of Enlightenment, tea has a dark cultural side, including slavery, indentured servitude, and revolts like the Boston Tea Party—a fascinating plant indeed! Before the talk, enjoy teatime refreshments from A Taste of Britain including mini scones, sweets, sandwiches, and, of course, tea!
