During her presentation, Milstein gave a history of tea in America, as well as an overview of some of the fine teas that were available to taste that evening. “Tea brings people together, and tea brings community together,” she said, adding, “Please enjoy the tea, please enjoy the pastries — they’re all made with love. And just sit back and relax.”
