For this project, my main topic was tea, yes tea. Normally, tea is perceived as a drink to keep us warm or quench our thirst. In reality, there is so much more meaning behind tea. I decided to research the history of tea and all the health benefits and cultural meanings it has.
English Portion
For my english portion, I wrote a reflection on all of the teas and their meanings. I research the origins, health benefits, and cultural meanings behind teas from Russia, China, Japan, India, and England. My reflection consists of how tea is used today, some health benefits, and a couple origin stories of how tea was discovered/first made in different countries.
For my art portion, I made a tea menu. I took teas from a couple different cultures and fused them together into one tea. My menu has 5 options, a healing tea, relaxing tea, weight loss, sleeping and antioxidants. Under each tea, I gave a description on how they are beneficial for your health, an origin and what the tea is made up of.
