Tea is Good :)

There was a mention in the article "Determining the Growth and Distribution of Tea Drinking in the 18th Century" by Carson that there was a limited interest among Native Americans and African Americans about drinking tea and whatnot.

  This was interesting to me because it really seems to emphasize that tea really served as an indicator of class and social standing.  It never crossed my mind that Native Americans or African Americans in this time period even had a remote interest.  It makes perfect sense, but since I'm in this European mindset of tea being a European thing; it surprised me that these other cultures within the U.S. desired to become a part of the European culture.  

Yes.
