SANITY
After a clinical trial using psychedelics leaves her husband with severe mental illness, Laura Zam begins visiting tea houses across America—one in each state—to save her own sanity. Her journey takes her from an expansive tea farm in Mississippi to soul-changing "leaf journeys" in Oregon as well as Afternoon Tea, boba shops, matcha bars, and wildly transformative cafes across the land. Along the way, Zam discovers how the history of tea in America points to solutions for a very fractured country. One woman’s attempt to stay upright through personal crisis becomes a vibrant travelogue and surprising roadmap for anyone trying to find their sanity—and expand it—in an era that requires better, and more joyful, tools for survival.
