“ Tea is arguably the most popular beverage in the world, but there’s more to know beyond the colorful boxes sold at your local grocery store. Like wine and beer, each tea variety has its own distinct history, source, and flavor profile, from Darjeeling to matcha to Silver Needle. Tea is also embedded in the traditions of many cultures around the world and is shared with others through distinctive ceremonies that include unique customs, foods, and accessories. Within the pages of this pocket-sized guide, you’ll find information, how-tos, and trivia for tea lovers of all levels. Experts and newbies alike will learn about:

• Tea Bags vs. Loose Leaf
• How to Prepare Tea
• Tea Families and Common Varieties
• Tea Traditions around the World
• How to Host an Afternoon Tea for Adults
• How to Throw a Tea Party for Children
• And more!”

Series Info/Source: This is a stand alone book that I got from the publisher (Quirk Books) for review.

Content (4/5): This is a well done collection of tea facts and information. I enjoyed it and learned a lot about tea that I didn’t know. Everything is covered in here from history to tea types to tea preparation and even tea ceremonies.

Writing Style (4/5): The book is well written and easy to follow. The small format does make it a bit harder to read but it’s still very well put together.

Summary (4/5): Overall I would definitely recommend if you want a quick overview of tea. This would also make a great coffee table book or gift to a tea lover.
