In 1755, ten thousand French Canadian settlers were thrown off their land, loaded on ships, and exiled.

Some say a cup of tea promotes frank discussion and helps clear up misunderstandings; others swear they can read the future in the leaves left at the bottom. Perhaps there really is something magical about tea…
