LEXINGTON, KY: Downtown Public Library
“We are the world’s new tea drinkers…”
Lexington boasted a substantial crowd, with between 70 and 80 people attending the screening at the Downtown Public Library. James Norwood Pratt, author of the esteemed “New Tea Lover’s Treasury” attended the screening, and he graciously joined Scott onstage for the question and answer session, lending an air of authority while simultaneously injecting quite a bit of fun and humor to the scene. Norwood explained that there are six types of teas: green tea, black tea (which the Chinese call red tea), Pu’er (a tea fermented in caves), white tea, red tea, and yellow tea ,“which the Chinese keep to themselves”. Norwood, in his characteristic lilt, added, “There are these wa-a-ays of approaching different teas. We [Americans] are the world’s… [pause]… ne-e-e-w tea drinkers. While Moroccans have their way, the English have their way. We have all of these ways; and they’re thriving.”
