The genome of the original tea plant could meanwhile be decoded. Does the information gained from it provide the possibility of cultivating particularly healthy tea plants or even varieties requiring less fertilizer than traditional plants?
What does “healthy tea” actually mean? Are there already any scientific studies revealing more details on the effectiveness of ingredients on the human body? Which ingredients play a special role in this context?
And how do tea traders deal with the topic of “healthy tea”? Is it possible to observe a history of how tea as a luxury commodity developed to become a lifestyle product for health-conscious customers? What does tea-drinking stand for today, and what are the future trends?
Make yourself comfortable with a nice hot cup of your favourite tea and join us on a journey through the world of tea!
The event will be held in English!
