CHADO TEA ROOM                        OPENING AT JANM

“No pleasure is simpler, no luxury cheaper, no consciousness-altering substance more benign,” remarks James Norwood Pratt, tea specialist and author of the “New Tea Lover’s Treasury.” To celebrate the grand opening of the Chado Tea Room at the Japanese American National Museum, join Pratt for a presentation on tea lore followed by a full afternoon tea.

In addition to writing the “New Tea Lover’s Treasury,” Pratt has been Honorary Director of the first traditional Chinese teahouse in America, instrumental in creating the American Premium Tea Institute and editor-in-chief of the magazine Tea Trade.
