Meet-and-Greet Tea Tasting with the UC Davis Global Tea Institute:
Learn about the activities and achievements of the Global Tea Institute at UC Davis, and how to get involved! Drop in for a tea tasting anytime between 3pm-4pm on Friday, November 1, 2024 in room 912 in Sproul Hall.
The Global Tea Institute for the Study of Tea Culture and Science promotes evidence-based knowledge about tea, the most consumed prepared beverage in the world. Although the main focus is Camellia sinensis, GTI also considers things consumed as “tea” (e.g., wellness teas). With UC Davis’s extraordinary breadth of expertise and GTI’s holistic mission, GTI is unique in the world, and the first and only entity to promote research and teaching in agriculture, health, science, humanities, social science, and industry, and from a global perspective.
The Global Tea Institute builds on a history of UC Davis tea research initiated in the 1960s. Current studies are expanding collaborations with industry partners and university researchers in the US and across the globe, and creating new knowledge about tea.
