‘Imiloa Astronomy Center will observe National Nutrition Month with “A Cream Tea & Chat” from 2-3 p.m. Sunday.
Experience a traditional cream tea with JoAnn Aguirre while learning about the health benefits of drinking tea.
A cream tea is a form of an afternoon light meal consisting of tea taken with a combination of scones, clotted cream and jams or curds. It is a simple and basic indulgence; a pick-me-up that can be enjoyed at any time of the day.
While partaking in this English tradition, discover why the second-most consumed drink often is recommended as part of a healthy diet. Thousands of published studies in leading medical journals support the potential health benefits of tea and the major bioactive compounds in tea called flavonoids often are linked with the beverage’s healthful properties.
Aguirre is a former educator with more than 20 years of experience in tea. Today, she finds joy in sharing her passion with others through events such as this, as well as through her Hilo shop called Teaching Tea.
