GUEST – Christine Folch, Associate Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Duke University, North Carolina

PLUS | Yerba Mate’s Meticulous Chronicler

Prof. Christine Folch is one of the world’s authorities on the history of beverages. A delightful storyteller, anthropologist, and historian, she recently penned The Book of Yerba Mate: A Stimulating History, released this week by Princeton University Press.

“Brewed from the dried leaves and tender shoots of an evergreen tree native to South America, yerba mate gives its drinkers the jolt of liquid effervescence many of us get from coffee or tea,” Christine tells Tea Biz correspondent Jessica Natale Woollard in a wide-ranging and engaging conversation about the world’s third-most popular naturally stimulating beverage.
