What is On the Semiotics of Tea about?
## Abstract The aim of this paper is to provide a brief sketch of the cultural phenomenon of tea from the point of view of Cultural Semiotics as developed by Juri M. Lotman and the Tartu- Moscow School of Semiotics. Tea, either as a beverage, tradition, ceremony, fashion product, or a 21st century cultural practice, is a product developed by human communication. Thus, it involves a complex meaningweb and meaning-production. To account for it as such, we must posit that it constitutes several semiotic models that explain and construct the context of tea in our social reality. Thus, we may say that tea is a meaning-generating mechanism, which presupposes it is inside a cultural space called semiosphere
