Customer Reviews

Well worth the price

I've enjoyed reading this book, preparing several of the brews & infusions, and love the photos presented with the text. It's been in use since I purchased it and hasn't yet made it to the bookshelf.

Nice History of Asian Teas

This books has a nice history of tea in Asia, the black and green teas especially. It is a great companion to Mary El-Baz's book, The Essence of Herbal and Floral Teas.

big fan

this book was very helpful. i have learned so much about teas that can be used to heal illnesses, the history of tea, and with many recipes i'm never at a loss to try new teas. this is great for the tea lover who is serious about using their tea in everyday life.
