The Irish are often associated with a love of imbibing alcohol, but there’s another beverage they love just as much: tea.

Come listen to Judith Krall–Russo, a certified tea specialist, talk about Ireland and the love affair its residents have with strong black tea, accompanied by scones or tea cakes. But she’ll also talk about other hearty foods the Irish enjoy at home or in the pubs as well as the country’s rich history of where myths and legends, leprechauns and fairies.

The event -- Ireland: Tea, Food and Folklore, will be held Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Wall Township branch of the Monmouth County Library system

Krall–Russo is a tea expert and historian who began studying the customs and traditions of this universal beverage 30 years ago. She is certified as a specialist by The Tea School in Pomfret, Connecticut and The Specialty Tea Institute of New York.
