According to the Fowler Museum’s press release a cup of tea is had three billion times a day. I think I consume about ten of those. As a serious tea devotee I have been tickled about the opening of the Fowler’s new exhibit, “Steeped in History: The Art of Tea.” Bringing together rare Chinese & Japanese ceramics, tea paraphernalia, Colonial American paintings, historical documents and more, the exhibit dares to capture the political, social and spiritual impact of this almighty drink.
