Particularly impressive is the scientific facts about the Yunnan Pu Erh region as the world’s earliest tea source. It has the world’s only complete ecological chain of ancient teas: including 3540 years of tea fossils and all kind of old age trees alive. A case in point, 3200 years old Feng Qing Tea Tree King, is still survive in good condition, and the tea leaves are still used for drinking and had been sold at the price of 400,000 RMB ($60,000), and the origin of the most famous tea brand Phoenix Dianhong together with Xiaoxianghong tea help sponsored the black teas for the World Tea Organization Mid-autumn Tea-Qin Gathering at MIT/Charles(Cha/Tea) River, making Yunnan tea available to the world by the World Tea Organization (WTeaO.org), North American Chinese Tea Association (NACTeaA) and mylovetea.com Dr. Tea team. Those teams also make Pu Erh Tea as one of the most representative of Chinaese tea to US President family etc, hosted by the Chinese Consulate General and those pictures were shown on the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, making it a bridge for Sino-US friendship and cultural exchanges. Combined with the tea lecture Dr. Tea offered at Harvard Yenqing Library, “Bohea tea: the bridge of the world history,” Yunnan Pu Erh tea as the world’ s origin of teas, together with the Bohea Tea benchmarked China`s Tea on the entire world history. Those teas produced more than a hundred years ago had kept well in shape and is still drinkable, showing tea as a good example as a healthy and pure life.

Most of the attenders of the Harvard public health lectures are Americans. Through the lecture they are confirmed that tea is from China and is a healthy drink. They express the lecture being very fruitful and asked a lot of questions, which had been well answered by Dr. Tea. For example, on the origin of tea being in India or China, in addition to detailed scientific evidence, Dr. Tea also took out a famous picture which he used at Boston University lectures. It is a selected picture of Boston.com on the Boston Tea Party Annual Reenactment: Dr tea dumped the Tea”! And another picture of his own at the Old South Meeting House. It is Dr. Tea carrying a tea box marked ” East India Company” and“Tea “, both in Chinese. Also those questions related to the British Tea Queen and tea drinking fashion, etc. etc are well answered. For the health benefits and the science of tea, Dr. Tea mentioned the World Tea Organization (WTeaO.org) lecture at MIT on“Tea, Nanomedicine and Human Health” lectures and his scientific paper <<tea and cancer prevention>> , and gave a detailed and in-depth answer. Also audience expressed their interest in Dr. Tea`s clothing. Dr. tea said that the Chinese HanFu is the traditional clothes Chinese wear before the Qing Dynasty and had been spread out all over east Asia. When asked what is the difference with the traditional Chinese clothing, Dr. Tea said it is the “green mountain, blue lake” costume initated by himself, which not only shows a great respect to the tradition, but also an innovative design, which expressed the same dream, mission and actions the World Tea Organization (WTeaO.org) , North American Chinese Tea Association and mylovetea.com are working on: create the lead the world tea culture of “Healthy Harmony Pure Nature”. A case in point, the Mylovetea logo is a heart shape expressing love with blue and green in color, reflecting the “green mountains (m) blue lake(l) and pure tea (t)” The world tea culture of “Healthy Harmony Pure Nature” is our dream and passion, and the attitude we can take to face the society, the nature, the Dao (God).  It is the initiative of the World Tea Organization (WTeaO.org), NACTeaA and mylovetea.com, and will continue to guide our way for a better world of tea.

2016年11月1日晚，哈佛公共卫生学院迎来了世界茶叶组织（WTeaO.org）总干事茶博士张兴才博士的《普洱茶》讲座，讲座精彩纷呈，广受好评。这是自2014年以来茶博士在哈佛公共卫生学院的第三场讲座，前两场讲座恰好是哈佛公共卫生学院的第一百年的最后一场讲座和新一百年的第一场讲座。

讲座开场茶博士介绍了这次普洱茶讲座的缘起和涵盖的内容。茶博士说这次讲座缘起于三个因素云南台采访，总统家族的茶会，哈佛公卫之前讲座的受欢迎。近期云南电视台的工作人员们专程到波士顿对茶博士进行了专访和纪录片拍摄活动。云南电视台从凤凰卫视的相关领导处了解到茶博士，了解到应中国驻美总领馆邀请，茶博士带领北美华茶驿站（WTeaO.org/NACTeaA）和mylovetea.com的团队专程为美国老布什总统家族进行过茶道茶艺茶科学茶文化和愛茶艺（mylovetea fun art）的全面呈现，而提供给总统家族品饮的三款茶中就包含了来自云南的普洱茶，茶博士家乡福建的铁观音和明清的西湖龙井。茶博士在哈佛公卫的老茶友Maynard老师等纷纷在美国社交媒体转发和分享支持，表示以茶博士为友为傲，并分享了品饮普洱茶带来的减肥效果和生命改变的体会。鉴于茶博士之前在哈佛公卫学院的茶科学茶道艺等讲座内容丰富新颖而有独创性而备受欢迎，于是就有了这次的哈佛公卫学院的普洱茶讲座。

这次的内容非常丰富新颖：涵盖了云南普洱澜沧江流域是世界最早的茶之源，普洱地区的古茶树祖，茶（人）祖，并与来自福建的茶中哈佛武夷茶结合，对世界茶史进行了疏通，指出普洱和武夷山为中国和世界的茶和整个历史的深刻影响，介绍了普洱茶密切相关的皇帝和总统们，茶作为一种健康纯美的生命的存在，茶的贸易，茶旅，茶马古道(以及古道马拉松，世界文明之路等)，以及普洱茶独特的生产工艺，科学和健康功能，品类以及品饮等，内容极其丰富。

特别令人印象深刻的是茶博士用科学的事实介绍了云南普洱地区是世界最早的茶树根源，拥有3540年的茶叶化石，拥有世界上唯一完整的古茶树生态链，而距今3200年的凤庆锦绣茶王依然很好的存活，并且做出来的茶拍出了40万一斤的价钱，而这个产地最著名的茶企凤牌滇红也与潇湘红一起称为世界茶叶组织中秋琴茶雅集的茶赞助商，将来自云南的茶借由世界茶叶组织（WTeaO.org），北美华茶驿站和mylovetea.com茶博士团队推广到了国际舞台上，而普洱本身也作为中国最有代表性的茶类之一介绍给了总统家族等，而在总领馆举办的这次总统也正是登上了中国外交部网站，成为中美友谊和文化交流的桥梁和佐证。结合之前茶博士在哈佛燕京的《武夷茶：世界历史的桥梁》的讲座，云南普洱作为世界茶最初的原产地，与影响了整个世界历史的武夷山一起成为中国和世界茶历史上的标杆，是历史和现实的丰碑。而制作于百年前流传至今形状完好仍可品饮普洱茶，更是很好的展现着茶是健康纯美的生命。

哈佛公卫讲座上的大多数是亚洲以外的人们，这次讲座大家触动很大，反映强烈，通过讲座大家确认了茶源自中国，源自云南普洱地区，也获得了很多收获，提了很多问题，都得到了茶博士很好的解答。关于茶起源的印度与中国说，除了翔实的科学证据外，茶博士还拿出了在他在波士顿大学讲座上使用的波士顿网的精选倾茶事件图片：茶博士倾茶图，以及他自己在波士顿旧南区聚会所考察发现的标有“东印度公司 茶”中文字样的茶箱等有利的说明了普洱作为茶起源与武夷茶作为世界历史的桥梁的作用。也就饮茶皇后和饮茶时尚等做了详尽解答。对于茶科学与茶健康方面，茶博士也结合他在MIT组织的世界茶叶组织《茶，纳米药物与人类健康》讲座和自己的科学论文《茶与癌症预防》等进行了详尽而深入的解答。也有专门对茶博士身上穿的汉服表示兴趣的，茶博士介绍说汉服是清代之前华夏民族漫长历史中普遍的穿衣模式，也流传到东南亚各地。当被问到与传统汉服有什么不同时，茶博士说这是茶博士首创的“青山碧水服”，这是一个尊重传统，又创新还道的一种设计，世界茶叶组织（WTeaO.org），北美华茶驿站和mylovetea.com都以蓝绿相间为色调，体现了“青山碧水 绿树蓝天”的梦，以my love tea的logo为例，上面绿色的山，下面蓝色的河，中间是纯美的茶（T）,“自然 健康 纯美 和谐”是茶博士提出和引领的世界茶文化，“这是我们面对自己，面对社会，面对自然，面对道（神）的态度，也是最能够使大家真正受益的茶道茶文化，是世界茶叶组织（WTeaO.org），北美华茶驿站和mylovetea.com持续努力的初心和方向”。

会上大家还品尝到了茶博士用给总统家族冲泡的一套茶具为大家冲泡的美茶，获得广泛喜爱，不吝赞誉并纷纷要求添杯，讲座圆满成功。
