GUEST – Professor Katharine P. Burnett, Founder and Director of the Global Tea Institute at UC Davis

PLUS | Tea and Peace

Hundreds of tea professionals, educators, and enthusiasts will travel from around the world to attend the UC Davis Global Tea Institute’s 10th Anniversary colloquium on January 30 at UC Davis. This year’s theme is Tea and Peace: Bringing Communities Together.

Joining us today is Professor Katharine Burnett, an expert in East Asian Studies and the art and cultural history of China and founder and director of the institute. She describes how, in 2012, their mutual fascination with tea brought together a research cluster of faculty and librarians to establish a group that would become the institute and organize its first colloquium. The collaboration inspired an innovative global educational hub offering advanced studies, continuing education leading to professional certifications, and a new book series, Global Tea Studies, with De Gruyter Brill Publishing. Plans include constructing an on-campus tea center equipped with a sensory theater, processing center, exhibition hall, classrooms, and space for public display of tea art and cultural materials.
