Some people are adamant that the perfect cup of tea is Earl Grey
sipped from a bone china cup. Others say it should be Darjeeling,
carefully brewed in an elegant porcelain pot, while many others
still favor the traditional cup served with milk and two sugars.You
can sip it hot, or drink it ice cold with a sprig of mint, or brew
an Indian-style chai with cardamoms and cinnamon; but however tea
is prepared, the universal experience is that it provides
refreshment, gentle stimulation, and good times.Some of the many
tea topics in this volume include:
-- A concise history of tea and its basic preparation
-- A journey around the tea estates and small holdings of the
tropics
-- Traditions of tea ceremonies from around the world
-- Recipes using tea, plus herbal and tea infusionsWhether your
answer to all life's vicissitudes is to put the kettle on, or if
you are simply inclined now and then to take afternoon tea, this is
the book for you.
British writer and tea historian Jane Pettigrew has joined forces
again with American tea writer Bruce Richardson to chronicle the
fascinating story of tea’s influence on British and American
culture, commerce and community spanning nearly four centuries.

Companion. No beverage has shaped Western civilization more than
the ancient elixir - tea. Follow tea's amazing journey from Canton

renaissance weave a fascinating story detailing how the leaves of a

Why did polite society lift its little finger along when raising
the tea-cup to the mouth? What is a mote spoon? What is the origin
of the word "caddy"? This book takes readers through the various
groups of tea equipage used over the past 350 years. The story
behind the development of the various pieces of tea brewing and
drinking equipment all have a tale to tell - sometimes an

compelled to drink 14 cups of tea because he didn't understand the
custom of standing the spoon in the cup to indicate that one had
had enough. The book contains lively and pithy contemporary quotes
from literature, diaries, trade catalogues and historical documents
together with a selection of illustrations.
