The Story: There is only one.
All Tea, Black, Green, White, Darjeeling, Assam, come from one plant (Camellia Sinensis). We believe this is true for people.
We are one species with different flavors. Hatred is taught, it's roots are in the unknown and fear. Legislation, war, and resolutions
have failed for thousands of years to bring an end to hate. But we think a cup of tea, and people that are unknown to each other, conversing, can help to end the roots of hatred.
The Parallel: We are more same than different.
Black, Green, White tea is determined by how it is processed. In people, it is how we are processed (raised) that determines our personality.
Darjeeling and Assam are determined by where the tea plant is grown. Much like in humans, our nationality is determined arbitrarily by where we are born.
But we are the same no matter where.

Araminta Ross is the definition of an American hero. She was an organizer of the Underground Railroad, she led Union army soldiers

All of this while suffering chronic migraines and seizures caused by her time in slavery.
