  1. Tea, terrior, ritual, and ethics + senior art show By: Kotomi Yamamura

  2. Original Learning Objectives • Learn about the ethical concerns of tea production, currently and historically, and learn how current tea distributors balance sourcing ethically with the pressures of capitalism. • Learn about the history of Chinese and Japanese tea ware and how they’re used in daily life, and ceremony • Explore how to teach through developing lessons about tea ceremonies and tea culture in Japan and China

  3. Added + Senior Art Show • My time at Evergreen was split between learning about food and agriculture, the visual arts, and craft. • I will organize a senior art show to showcase my artwork which themes are connected to ecology, culture, commodification, and ritual. • New learning objective: Learn how to organize and curate an art show.

  4. Tea workshops • Week 5> Discussion of ethics of tea production and distribution, pulled from the book The Darjeeling Distinction • Week 8> Gung Fu Ceremony style, Tea ware, and Ritual • Week 9> Terrior of tea, Focused on Japanese Terrior and The Japanese Tea Ceremony

  5. Tea Ethics and Business • “Fair trade consumers believe that their purchases have the power to enact change in agricultural communities on the other side of the world” • “Fair trade is selling a moral economic fetish, a dream of equitable relations in empirically unequal productive conditions, and sales are booming” • “Envisioning something requires symbolic, linguistic, economic and political framings of actual conditions” Is there ethical consumption under capitalism?

  6. Tea Shop built on commodities • Within the book How to Open a Financially Successful Coffee Espresso and Tea Shop a large topic for profits were baked goods along side the beverages being sold. • “The circulation of slaves, sugar and tea created a drink that fueled the Industrial Revolution. The popularity of tea came thanks in part to the rise of sugar, which became the u niting ingredient in what Mintz calls the British “tea complex.” • This not only included sugary hot tea, but also cakes, pastries, and the accouterments of “tea time.” • The quotes above made me think of the connection between the history and current relationship between commodities, exploitation, and the “recipes” of drinks and/or food that feeds modern business models.
