She has put together what looks like an impressive collection of artifacts and art documenting how tea gained popularity as it traveled from ancient China and to beyond.   Below is an example from the exhibit called <strong>Susanna Truax</strong>, an American Folk Art Painting Portrait by an unknown artist. </p><p><a
