Our university hosted a Global Tea Conference this week. I was only able to attend a few of the talks on Friday afternoon, but I now tave a ton of new tea facts with which to regale my family. For example:
* Did you know that most tea sold in the US is imported from Argentina? They harvest it by machine, so it costs $0.68/ounce. Tea imported from Japan is $12.88/ounce.
* Have you heard of green tea planthoppers? They improve the flavor of tea by feeding on it.
