I think this is a really good book about tea. There's plenty of interesting stories, a history, some recipes, what tea culture is like in different parts of the world and a guide on how to make good tea. It definitely satisfied my curiosity and need of knowledge and the pictures were beautiful. I recomment this book for all those interested in the subject who just want one good book on this.
