Description
Tea is a beverage with roots all over the globe, from English tearooms to the mountains of Tibet. This exquisitely illustrated volume leads readers on an investigation of the many faces of tea: a mythic plant, a ceremony, the cause of wars (remember the Boston Tea Party), and ultimately one of the world's favorite beverages. The Book of Tea provides a comprehensive history and background of the beloved ritual of tea, providing photographed accounts of tea farming, tea barons and, teatime, show more and capturing the various tastes and nuances of teas from around the world. This book, based on the original Flammarion title The Book of Tea, is now edited and brought up to date. This book acts as both a guide to the appreciation of tea and a travel guide to the regions responsible for the production of tea, including Asia, the Middle East, and parts of Africa. Anyone who loves tea will be delighted by the chance to delve into the magnificent photography and descriptive writing of The Book of Tea. show lessTags

This is a jumbo-sized version of the little Flammarion books on tea. It has all the colorful photos, just in larger size, and the story goes into more detail.
It's still a light read but goes in-depth enough to give more than just the bite you get from the comparable pocket-sized books on tea.
I like to judge a tea book by what it says about Puerh, and disappointingly, this one doesn't seem to say anything. It's not in the index or in the glossary.
But it's still a good read, just not the exhaustive resource some other tea books are meant to be.

Beautiful book

En stor udgave af noget, der ligner den mindre ABC om te, som jeg har i både en engelsk og en fransk udgave. Flotte billeder, men der står ikke så meget nyt at det gør noget.
Pi Lo Chun er nævnt to steder, mens Pu'Erh te slet ikke er nævnt.
