Agreed - this is THE book

I have an embarassingly extensive library on Tea and Coffee, this is the top shelf. As good as it gets, thank you Mr. Pratt.

This is THE book on tea!

This book introduced me to the wonders of the tea leaf! Because of Norwood's book I am now an avid tea drinker. This book is ideal for the beginning tea drinker as well for the refined. You will use this book throughout your tea drinking adventures---it will not sit on your bookshelf collecting dust. Included is tea history, descriptions of each type of tea, methods of brewing, tea utensils, health aspects, tea rooms, and a big list of tea vendors (including my favorite: Upton Tea Imports).I have not seen a better book out there on tea than this one. highly reccommended.
