The Story of Tea traces the history, myths and rituals of growing and drinking tea from the tea gardens of China to the roadside dhabas of India. Thomas Garraway's first public sale of tea in England in 1657 was of historic importance. For this he published and distributed a poster... "The leaf of such known virtues ... that it is sold for twice its weight in silver. It maketh the body active and lusty. It helpth the headache, giddiness and heaviness and thereof. It is very good against stone and gravel, cleaning the kidneys and ureter. It is good against crudities, strengthening the weakness of the Ventricle or Stomack, causing good appetite and Deigestion and particularly for men of a corpulent body and such as are great eaters of flesh... It prevents and cures ague, surefeits...and fevers, by infusing a fit quantity of the leaf, thereby provoking a most gentle vomit...It drives away all pains in the Collick proceeding from wind and purgeth safety the Gall..." So said Thomas Garraway and indeed, many belived him!

Zac Taylor and his crew are at the end of their last summer together before senior year of high school. Unsure of where each is headed after graduation, they know three things: time is fleeting, the pool where they all work as lifeguards is swimming with hotties, and life really is greener on the other side of the hill when the person sitting next to you has a tightly-rolled joint. In some ways, life couldn't be any more picturesque for this band of Midwestern misfits. But nothing is ever as it seems. Zac's stepdad is a tyrant with soul-crushing plans for Zac's life. And when a surprise visitor steps in on Zac's behalf, tragedy befalls the family, sending Zac into a self-destructive downward spiral. Can the love of his life, a snarky, Beatles superfan, a brick of weed, a bar owner named Arlo, and an unexpected inheritance get Zac back on track to fulfill his destiny or is this just the beginning of Zac's endless descent into the hazy hippie world of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll?
