It will be the Camellia sinensis or the tea plant, the protagonist of the fragrant and unusual rendez vous which will take shape Saturday, March 28, starting at 11, in the spaces of the National Museum of Ceramics Duke of Martina in Villa Floridiana, in the heart of Vomero, in Naples. For the occasion, Dolores Peduto, Botanical of Park of the Reggia di Caserta, will illustrate the history, myths and legends, but also techniques, customs and traditions associated with this famous drink of Eastern origin, but now widespread throughout the world.
During the conversation will be offered tastings of teas and flavored pure and precious infusions of biological origin selected by Antonella Grippa, curator of the tea corner of Vomero, Il piacere di offrire il tè. By the sweetness of the almond to the sensuality of jasmine, here are some of the aromas of a Puerh tea-chai, a spiced, a Kiss of Angels, a fruity, of a marigold flower, a Ratafià or black tea with bergamot, which will be offered along with delicious homemade biscuits and presentation of fine ceramics and special accessories for the tea ceremony during the anticipated event on Saturday with free admission (subject to availability).
