This week I received an email from Neil Summers about a really cool tea project he and some friends are doing called Tracing Tea. He writes…
“In 2007, the 350th anniversary of tea’s introduction to Britain, the
Tracing Tea team will journey from the famous Indian tea port of
Calcutta to London through the world’s great tea-drinking nations. The
expedition will drive auto-rickshaws, 3-wheeled vehicles popular in
South Asia, over 3 mountain ranges and 15,000 km of the worlds toughest
roads.

The Tracing Tea expedition will be researching tea and it’s associated
history and culture with particular reference to the people who live
along the old trading routes today. The team is working with both the
Tea Council and the Muslim Council of Britain to ensure the
effectiveness of the trip. The project will culminate in a book, as well
as an eight-part documentary produced for US and European television.”

Now, that’s how I like to roll. Safe travels and best of luck with the project!
