Come to a molecular tea party! Join Michelle Francl, author of Steeped: The Chemistry of Tea, for a deep dive into what is in a cup of tea. We will taste different teas and enjoy traditional teatime snacks while exploring why Earl Grey is so calming and why caffeine gets us so excited.

What can we learn about tea from the study of meteorites? Why is black mold good for tea? What can adding a pinch of salt do for a cup of tea?

This event will be held at Chestnut Hill College’s East Parlor, Philadelphia, PA. You can also attend via Zoom.
