The Politics of Tea: The East India Company and British Tea Culture

Description

For all its genteel connotations, the history of tea is steeped in espionage, rebellion, and the rise of an Empire. Join Anglophile and former UK resident Claire Evans to explore the background of the most lucrative corporate venture the world has ever known and the product it brought to the West at any cost. This program will be held live on Zoom. Attendees are welcome to attend online or come to the JKPL and attend a livestream of the program.
