Tea has been spilled, literally and figuratively, in its journey around the globe. Join Beal Botanical Garden Education Director and Ethnobotanist Maeve Bassett in collaboration with the MSU Museum to learn more about the cultural significance, medicinal properties, and ecological impacts of tea. Using Science On a Sphere, we’ll explore the global spread and impact of the world’s most delicious plant. Participants will have the opportunity to taste different tea varieties and try preparation methods with centuries-old traditions.

The MSU Museum CoLab Studio is pleased to present a slate of programs and events in conjunction with the Food Fight! exhibition on display in the Main Gallery from January 9th to June 29th, 2024. The exhibition and programming explore the themes of global food security, food production and consumption, and our complex relationships with food.
