* Boston Tea Party - Lecture Presented by The Cozy Tea Cart

This virtual program has been made possible by a grant from the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, and is being offered via Zoom. 

If you are one of the first 20 people to register, you will receive a separate email inviting you to stop by the library a few days prior to the event, to receive a sample of Panyang Congou Black tea (one of the teas that was thrown into Boston Harbor) so that you can sip on it during the lecture!

"In this lecture, we discuss the discovery of tea and its impact on history as early as the 1600's. We will discuss how tea impacted England, the East India Company, the Townshend Revenue Act, the Boston Massacre, the Tea Act of 1773, and of course let's not forget the Boston Tea Party. Also discussed will be the Intolerable Act, smugglers, and financial, technological, and agricultural innovation, all brought about because of a simple cup of whole leaf tea!" - thecozyteacart.com
