Could be Better

I was expecting & looking for brewing directions, for example, ginger root requires boiling for quite some time, then straining, etc... how much time? Then can be kept in the refrigerator for a while, again, how long?
The same questions for the other teas.... this is only half a book!

- Short and practical guide to different types of tea, steeping recommendations and health benefits.

- Considering its size, the book is pretty basic. I read an e-book version, and the editing is lacking: several misspellings and typing errors here and there diminish the value of this guide book.

Good information

Very easy reading and understanding the different kinds of tea and benefits plus how to brew since I drink different teas and did not realize the different brewing times and how hot the water should be so this is a good reference book for me.

Good Information

I have been drinking tea all my life. My Grandma used to say,"there is no problem that can't be solved over a cup of tea". I drink it every afternoon in one form or another, and I learned some new things in this book. Enjoyed the read.

Good overview

This is a good little book for someone new to tea, like me. It lists the varieties of teas and gives a nice overview of them. I am tempted to hunt down some of the rarer teas mentioned just to see if I can taste the things the author described. Kind of reminded me of reading about wines, only I don't really get into wines. This book further kindled my desire to become a tea connoisseur.

A lovely look at teas from all over the world.

How is it grown? Where is it grown? What is the best way to make tea and why each one is unique and takes a different preparation.

I have to admit I have been a tea lover all of my life. I dream of owning my own tea room and have collected many, many books on the subject of tea.

This is a really nice research book if you are just getting interested in teas of all types.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and plan on keeping it in my Tea Book Collection, because after all Tea is not simply a beverage, it is an experience.
