Tales of the Tea Trade

Taking the reader on a fascinating journey directly into the lives of those who plant, pluck and process tea; going beyond the standard story of leaf to cup; this book offers readers a unique first-hand insight into the culture, ceremony, opportunities and threats surrounding an ancient art. Beyond this, the book explores the key ingredients that separate a ¿good¿ from a ¿great¿ tea, covers ethical sourcing and shows how readers can translate and recreate tea ceremonies at home.
