Episode description

While You Were Steeping is a curatorial tea and culture podcast. Join your hosts, ex-housemates and theatre graduates Hayden Rodgers and Michael Mandalios as they discover the rich history of tea across time and cultures, and review locally sampled teas of all kinds.

EPISODE NOTES: Equipped with some of Jane's great key milestones, Hayden and Michael start at the very beginning, delving into the stories of the discovery of tea, primarily in China, but in other cultures as well. The myth of Shennong, the etymology of tea around the world, the creation of the teabag, and the invention of "afternoon tea" are all covered.

Teas reviewed in this episode: Strawberry Gum Green (The Rabbit Hole, NSW, Australia), Lemongrass & Ginger (The Rabbit Hole), Dragon Pearls (Elmstock, WA, Australia)
