You're Invited: Coffee Tasting and Exhibition Opening

05/25/2004

Victorians observed strict rules about tea and coffee service, and this first edition of Oliver Twist (1838) includes an engraving that shows how British cartoonists viewed the middle class.
The Lilly Library will host a coffee tasting to celebrate the opening of the exhibition "Kahveh, Choclatl, Ch'a: The New Flavors Arrive," curated by Stephen H. Cape.

*When: Friday, June 4, at 5 p.m.

*Where: Lilly Library

The exhibition features rare printed items ranging from the 16th through the 20th centuries that describe the spread of coffee, chocolate, and tea throughout the West.

Chef Matt O'Neill will give a talk about coffee, and the Runcible Spoon, a popular local coffeehouse, will provide a selection of coffees to sample.

The event is free and open to the public.
