On today’s programme Máire was joined by Zoologist, Author and tea lover Juanita Browne!Juanita Browne is a Zoology graduate. She published her first book Ireland’s Mammals in 2005. Besides wildlife, one of her other great loves is a nice cup of tea. Neither an addict nor connoisseur, she simply enjoys plain Irish tea and, most importantly, the chat that comes with it. Through her new book ‘Put the Kettle On – The Irish Love Affair with Tea’, Juanita investigates our tea habits and the rules, the warmth, the comfort and the craic in every brew across Ireland. She’s giving a talk at Tubber Village Hall for Burrenbeo tonight at 8.30pm. Juanita would be delighted to hear any tea-related stories from the crowd. This talk is open to everyone. However, it is free for Burrenbeo Trust Members and a suggested €5 donation from non-members. For more information please email [email protected] or phone 091 638096.
