Description
Tea is an international drink with a variety to suit every palate. Today more and more people are waking up to the extraordinary diversity that the world of tea has to offer. With its colorful past and fascinating traditions, tea offers not only a healthy, invigorating drink but also a journey through 4,500 years of history.
This much-needed book is a guide to all the major tea producing countries of the world, and the teas they produce - from favorites such as Darjeeling, Assam, Lapsang Souchong and Earl Grey, to the more acquired tastes of Japanese green teas and the exquisitely beautiful rare Chinese Teas.
Jane Pettigrew describes how tea is produced, processed, traded and blended, and gives expert guidance on how precisely to brew the different types of tea, whether black, green, white, yellow or oolong.
