May 21, 2012 ““ In the spirit of Taiwanese American Heritage Week, Bruins for Taiwan hosted a workshop titled “Tea 101 and Tea Ritual.” The presentation included taste samples of green tea, pouchong tea, amber oolong and black tea, along with an explanation of how these play a role in the Taiwanese culture. Yet, as a new social change group on campus, the club’s main cup of tea is raising awareness for Taiwan’s struggle for recognition as an independent country. Founder of the club, Ginny Wu, a second-year economics student, and Vice President Robin Lee, a second-year global studies student, share with us the experiences they’ve faced with their Taiwanese American heritage, and how Bruins for Taiwan plans to respond.
