Part 1: The History of Tea

Since ancient times, the dried leaves of the Camellia Sinensis shrub have been used for medicinal purposes and brewed to create an aromatic, soothing and refreshing drink called tea. Originally from China, tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world after water. But from Japan to England, Morocco to Russia, it's also a complex blend of art, culture and tradition. During the presentation Emilie Jackson, owner of Emilie's French Tea's, will share her passion for tea through her own traveling experiences. 

About the presenter:

Originally from France, Emilie Jackson speaks English, Spanish and French fluently. Before settling in the United States, Emilie lived in France, Portugal, England and Mexico where ancient healing traditions are still alive.
