The 1619 Project
Inspired by her signature red hair, we created this tea to honor award-winning journalist, Nikole Hannah-Jones. On May 9, 2023, Brooklyn Tea hosted an intimate screening of the 1619 Project docu-series, including an in depth talk and book signing of her best selling book.
ABOUT THE 1619 PROJECT
The 1619 Project launched in August 2019 with a special issue of The New York Times Magazine, including essays and creative works by journalists, historians, and artists. The project illuminates the legacy of slavery in the contemporary United States, and highlights the contributions of Black Americans to every aspect of American society. In the years since its launch, The 1619 Project and the conversations it has sparked have expanded through new resources, including a podcast, a book-length anthology, and a children's book.

Historically, hibiscus tea has been used in African countries to decrease body temperature, treat heart disease, and sooth a sore throat. In Iran, hibiscus tea is used to treat high blood pressure.
A 2010 study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that consuming hibiscus tea lowered blood pressure in people at risk of high blood pressure and those with mildly high blood pressure.
