ADV.03 The Culture of Tea Around the World

A cup of tea is much more than a pleasing beverage. It is the culmination of careful cultivation, backbreaking labor, artisanal craftsmanship, thoughtful preparation and centuries if not millennia of history. With each sip, we are not only being nourished by the fragrant liquor, we are imbued with the essence of the people and the cultures that have shaped the leaves.

Getting to know cultures better, with their logic and customs, helps to understand how complex the relationship between peoples is. Texts of excellence, as is the WTA standard. Congratulations.

I loved everything about this class - it challenged me to understand my personal tea culture as it showed me so many 'everyday' rituals around the world that are just taken for granted. The videos, being very unpolished, really helped to get a feel for the people and places, as it would be if we were there in person.

One of my favorite things about tea is learning how it is served and enjoyed by different cultures so this class was a favorite! Delving into China, Japan, India, Sri Lanka, Russia, Europe, and North America's tea culture was enlightening and very interesting. Loved it!
