We have learned that all founders of the United States loved Chinse tea, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin. George Washington loved Chinse tea for his entire life. As a bachelor, George Washington had beautiful tea sets made from China. John Adams and John Quincy Adams were both avid tea lovers. George Washington liked Black Tea. He had three cups of tea in the days when he and his soldiers spent hard time in the Valley Forge. According to a resources, Thomas Jefferson was a fan of green tea, presumably produced in the Anhui province of China. Paul Revere made silver tea pots.
You can find information on the study of Sino-US Relations, such as financial aid opportunities, Center for Fellowships & Grants, Item 075; The Early American Trade with China, 056; and Websites for China Studies, 051. I will continue to focus on exploring Chinese culture and the early development of the Untied States, particularly the efforts of the eminent colonists, including the founding fathers, worked hard to draw nourishments from traditional Chinese Civilization.
