A tea mixologist and owner of Brighton's Bluebird Tea Co., Smith
provides the reader with information on all things tea, bolstered
with vivid photographs, both current and historical, of everything
from tea drinkers to tea pickers across the globe. The volume is
organized into four parts, leaving the reader easily immersed in
the richly steeped history and traditions of myriad styles of teas.
Tea Basics covers such information as the chemistry, varieties,
blends, and grades of tea; the harvesting and processing of the tea
plants; and tea's influence on the world. Tea Brewing and Drinking
explains the numerous tools that can be utilized as well as
offering recommendations on buying and storing, as well as tasting
and pairing techniques. The Tea Blending section arms the reader
with recipes and ideas to become a novice mixologist in brewing
such things as matcha and tea lattes. The last section, World of
Tea, covers growing areas, with descriptive histories and profiles
of each producing country, and is illustrated by colorful maps and
sidebars to highlight major countries and unique tea offerings such
as Tibet's Po Cha (Yak butter tea). A glossary and index are also
included. Recommended for public libraries.--Becca Smith "Booklist"
