Tea began as a medicine and is now one of the most popular and widely consumed drinks in the world. Tea drinking is not only an indispensable part of daily life but, as a consequence, influenced many cultural aspects and social customs. Its history through the ages is riddled with trade wars, industrial espionage and legalised drug running.
Pour yourself a cup of tea, then tune-in and watch this great 42-minute lecture by London Museum of Natural History botanist Vilma Bharatan as she looks at the culture and history of tea, as well as the great diversity of different teas.

Glad y'all liked it! {blushing}
I loving your sight, all about tea!! As we are 3 American expat women who live in England, we have had to really have a crash course in tea when we first moved! Would love to know more about why you moved back to the states and why you are wanting to return.
