Tea time in Middle Tennessee

Tea is the hot beverage of choice for so many people here, and around the world.

It has a rich history in East Asia, where the Camellia sinensis plant is native. This is the tea leaf plant that produces the black, green, oolong and white tea leaves we’re familiar with.

And each culture that has embraced tea creates their own traditions for brewing, presenting, and drinking it. We’ll explore different traditions around hot tea, and find out who in Nashville is carrying on these traditions!

But first, Emily Young at sister station WNXP stops by the studio to tell us how we can celebrate 91 Day!
