About this listen

 Tea is the most consumed beverage on Earth after water, and it has been loved for centuries. But tea is more than just a pleasant drink. It has served as medicine, inspired rituals, philosophy, and poetry. It sparked trade routes, shaped empires… even stirred up revolutions. So how did tea travel beyond its origin in the ancient time and grow into something so significant? Special thanks to Le Suna, Deputy Director and Research Curator of China National Tea Museum, whose expertise in the history of tea has greatly enriched this episode.
