Rebecca's Reading Room“Thank God for tea! What would the world do without tea! How did it exist? I am glad I was not born before tea.”
William Gladstone, British Prime Minister.
Tea for Three (Rebecca Budd Photo Archives January 2020)Life is made up of moments that can either be remembered or overlooked. Think back. What do you remember? It seems easy to recall a vacation, a birth, a graduation or a conversation because these events trigger an emotional reaction. Lately, I want to remember more of my life, so I have decided to put more “feeling” into ordinary events – that are really, when looking back, extraordinary.
What better way to commemorate these extraordinary moments than by drinking tea. The act of drinking tea can trigger nostalgia and elevate our sensory memories. Additionally, the rich history and cultural significance of tea may also contribute to its role as a poignant reminder of meaningful events and traditions.
Today, I am having chai tea and recalling the memories that come with drinking this spicy and sweet-smelling beverage.
Chai or cha is a common word for “tea” and comes to us from Mandarin Chinese via the Silk Road. (Exciting story so far.) The chai we are most familiar with is masala chai which is spiced milk tea. Fast forward a couple hundred centuries. Many tea and coffee houses offer chai lattes with the perfect blend of tea, milk and spices.

His botanical expertise and exploratory ventures were instrumental in introducing diverse plant species to Kew Gardens, thereby enriching its collection and contributing to botanical knowledge in the Western world.
Kew Gardens (Rebecca Budd Photo Archives September 2023)During his time at Kew Gardens, Robert Fortune documented and collected numerous plant specimens, showcasing his dedication to broadening the understanding of Asian flora among Western botanical institutions. His contributions to Kew Gardens significantly influenced the exchange of plant species between East Asia and the Western world, leaving a lasting impact on the field of horticulture and botanical exploration.
