Steeped: The Chemistry of Tea
June 5 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Chemist and author Michelle Francl explores the chemistry of different styles of tea in this informative program.
In her new book “Steeped: The Chemistry of Tea,” chemist Michelle Francl explores how science transforms humble leaves into this beloved beverage.
She focuses on tea varieties that come from a single plant, including green, black, white, yellow, oolong and pu’er teas, as opposed to rooibos, chamomile or other herbal teas with much different origins.
Michelle Francl is the Frank B. Mallory professor of chemistry at Bryn Mawr College, an adjunct scholar of the Vatican Observatory and author of the new book “Steeped: The Chemistry of Tea.”
