It was really hard to connect with this book. The author comes from a place of privilege and I feel that really played heavily on how the subject was presented. Steeping times were overly long and would ruin most teas. I found it frustrating that tea blend recipes were worked into paragraphs so it was hard to easily see what ingredients I needed. I did appreciate that it was stated that some herbs were best used under the direction of a doctor.

A Kitchen Witch's book of tea. Some good recipes, and simple tea time/party ideas for connecting to nature and celebrating the seasons. I'm not as interested in the spells, rituals, and magical correspondences but others might enjoy that aspect more.

A small reference with some tea blends and a few recipes for accompaniments.

I jumped into this book looking to get ideas on creative tea combinations. At my first, quick, glance, the paragraph form for recipes left me confused and not willing to “search” for my information. I decided to dedicate a bit more time. I picked a recipe (Fennel and Peppermint Tummy Tea), brewed a cup and sat with this book and found it delightful. I am looking forward to choosing other combinations offered.

I really loved this! I'm generally a hard sell on witchcraft books with such narrow foci, but this one didn't feel overly fluffed up or redundant. I've already tried a handful of the recipes, which were fantastic. My only quibble is that this needed better copyediting, but that seems to be the state of most books nowadays.

Hearthcraft has been something I've become very interested in over the last year. This book does an amazing job of showing the different uses of teas, even if that's just taking a moment to breathe.
