Tea + Tattle: The Juicy History of Tea and Gossip

Come to the beautiful Green Spring Gardens in Alexandria, VA for an interesting lecture and afternoon tea! This will be the first event for this group, making it a perfect opportunity for us to meet each other and chat about any ideas for the group moving forward.

DESCRIPTION
Rumor, hearsay, scuttlebutt, scandal. Gossip is widely condemned yet sometimes considered a positive force in society. Hear all about the origins and changing definitions of gossip, how people have “dished” hilariously through the ages, and why gossiping was once considered synonymous with tea-drinking! Please note: All tea food for this afternoon tea will be made with no gluten-containing ingredients but cross-contamination is possible. $50 (lecture + tea); $18 (lecture only)
