Customer Reviews

a fine tea book

I like to read books while sipping tea. Nothing is better than a book on tea while sipping tea. Its hard to believe the other reviewer gave this book 1 star with the advice, buy another book intstead as if its an ultimatum. This is a great book, well done and very engaging while brewing a cup or two. My personal favorite books on tea beyond the primary sources in Chinese and Japanese are Wind in the Pines and Tea of the Sages, the Art of Sencha and this book is worthy to share a on the shelf with any English book on tea. Self-important scholars, aesthetes or "intellectuals" like the first reviewer do not seem to "taste" this authors flavor at all.
