South Africa’s rugged Cederberg Mountains are best known for their dramatic rock formations and wildlife including baboons and leopards. But the arid region is also the home to an unassuming plant that has become popular around the world.

Here is the Google Meet link: https://meet.google.com/wng-ievp-kxm - we will use this same link each week unless otherwise announced in the comments.

Tuesday Teatime Online Book Club was started by a few of us who met in a Facebook tea group in 2020. It is free to attend, organized by volunteers, and is open to anyone who wants to read along with us and discuss these tea-related books!
We are starting a new non-fiction book on Tuesday, July 28th: "Tea: the Drink that Changed the World" by Laura C. Martin. It is available as a paperback book, e-book, and audiobook.
Each week we discuss 1 or 2 chapters of the book: that means more in-depth detailed discussions than in a regular book club AND it's easy to keep up on the reading!
Meetings are held on Google Meet on Tuesdays at 2pm U.S. Eastern Time/1PM Central Time/12 Noon MT/11AM PT/7PM U.K./8PM in Europe/11PM in Japan/11:30PM in India/4AM in Australia. TIME AND GOOGLE MEET LINK ARE THE SAME EVERY WEEK unless otherwise indicated, and will be posted in the first comment underneath this post.
THIS POST WILL BE UPDATED WEEKLY IN THE COMMENTS with each week's reading assignment.
