Tea Traditions

The History of Tea and the French language students got together for a community tea party, complete with presentations about components related to the tea tradition. The china they used was from Luxembourg, which is 40 minutes from Rachel’s hometown of Metz. The mirabelle tea they served was from Metz, the bergamote tea and the bergamote candy were from Nancy, and the madeleines they baked are a specialty of Comercy. Metz, Nancy, and Commerce are all cities in Lorraine, which is the only region in France to have 3 borders: Germany, Luxembourg, and Belgium. We love learning about global tea traditions!
