The October tea is titled “Trailblazing Women in Ohio Politics” and is a discussion about the history marking the electoral achievements of Democratic and Republican women who have broken electoral barriers in Ohio. Greeted with skepticism by voters beginning in the 1960s, each trailblazer overcame obstacles and sometimes hostility to get elected. Featured trailblazers include the first woman Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, the first African American woman lieutenant governor in all 50 states, and the longest-serving woman in the US House of Representatives.
The featured tea selection is called Orange Cinnamon & Honey: this tea captures the taste of honey and the character of new season Florida oranges with fresh cinnamon.
