On Dec 3, 2019, over 90 attendees experienced a once-in-a-lifetime world tour of unique stories and tasting of rare teas at “The Diplomatic Power of Tea: A History Presentation & Tasting of 10 of the Rarest Teas in the World. ” The event was co-sponsored by ANY, WWN Health & Wellness Series, and the World Fellows Program. Special thanks to Nizam Uddin (Yale World Fellow) who hosted and provided us this opportunity at Yale. CEO and Founder Sheikh Aliur Rehman, of The London Tea Exchange, shared ten of the rarest teas in the world under one roof for the first time and provided an opportunity for attendees to taste and hear the unique story of their accumulation and history. We explored the significant role tea has played in the geopolitics of nations and how it continues to carry significant diplomatic currency.
