7:00pm – 8:00pm | $5For many Americans, the day does not truly begin until they have consumed a cup of their favorite morning beverage, be it coffee or tea. In this talk, Saint Mary’s Professor Dr. Anthony Talo will explore the physiology, biochemistry, and histories of the two plants used to create these popular drinks: Coffea and Camellia sinensis. Dr. Talo will trace their African and Asian origins and explain their critical role in the plantation economies of the 16th-20th centuries and their growth to becoming the global powerhouses they are today. Tasting sponsored by Whole Foods Lafayette!
