This book touched on some of the basics in relation to tea, but I found it’s offerings and explanations to be a bit weak. This book needed another 20 pages to round out some of the information that was mentioned, and definitely needed more information about the processing, transportation and shipping, and harvesting of various tea options.

Tea lovers, I recommend you look elsewhere for a more comprehensive tea book. This one barely checks off the basics.

Informative with more resources to check into, including a few fair trade ones (though I am sure there are more by now since this was published in 2002).

Short and sweet but very informative. Also includes some recipes.

Short and sweet, like a little cuppa Chai Masala.
