tea time
Rating:
5 / 5
I absolutely was intrigued by this book, read while sipping a cup of tea. My favorite teas are Republic of Tea, I'd recommend those as well! I liked learning about "TGBOP", Oolong teas, how to brew teas, teas from different countries, etc. I am by no means a tea snob, just a tea lover. This book is great for tea drinkers of any kind.
A Quick and Easy (and Fun) Guide!

A good book for the beginner, a nice and easy read for everyone interested in tea. The authors accomplish to talk about tea (origins, history, manufacture, types, how to purchase, taste, brew, etc.), to deal with "controversial" topics such as the use of teabags, and to communicate their personal tastes and views, without drifting off into snobism.All in all, an enjoyable read written by people with obvious love for tea.
Perfect for the Tea Beginner

This book impressed me. It is easy to read, has a personal feel, and covers all of the basics (what tea is, history, where it is produced, how to brew it, tea tasting, tea ceremonies, etc). Many resources are listed in the back. I have five books on tea so far (a beginner), and this is my favorite. If you only want one book on tea, this is my recommendation. The health section is pretty basic, so if that interests you, you might want to also look at a health-related tea book (green tea). This book describes the general regions, whereas the Tea Companion book describes the individual tea gardens (which may or may not be useful to you.)
