Join REEES and ASC to learn about beverages of two different biological processes--fermentation and preservation. We'll explore these processes with pu-er tea, the milk mushroom and citron tea. How are they made and what is their cultural significance? We'll talk about how to make these drinks, their traditional place in local tea cultures as well as the trans-regional connections that these beverages share in East Europe, China, Tibet and more.
