World in a Teacup — Tracing the GLOBAL Journey of Tea

The Hearst Museum of Anthropology will host a special event exploring the trajectory of tea ― in its many forms ― from ancient origins in Asia, through its spread to Britain, India and the rest of the world, to contemporary manufacture and its modern role in popular culture.
