A Tea Journey: From The Mountains To The Table
A Tea Journey will explore the cultural significance of our nation鈥檚 favourite drink. Visitors will follow the tea leaf from plant to pot, beginning with its roots in Chinese culture through to its adoption and appropriation into British society. The exhibition will raise questions about what the humble cup of tea has evolved to represent in international, social, philosophical and visual cultures.
Visitors will also explore The Tea Sensorium which will offer a multi-sensory appreciation of tea, from the leaf itself and art inspired by tea, as well as becoming a sight for artist-led workshops and discussions.
