The Time of Tea

Rating:
Summary: The Definitive Treaty on Tea
Review: This is the new CLASSIC in the realm of tea books...a must-have book. Pasqualini will bombard you w/ factual information. Suet's outstanding photos alone (albeit b/w) are worth the price of this set. The modern format is a little disorienting to the reader especially with the wealth of information that is provided by Pasqualini. However, there is so much of it, maybe it was Pasqualini's intent to give it to you in a piece-meal fashion. Since I have a food technology background, I especially liked Pasqualini's scientific explanations on the pleasures of tea -- this kind of information is hard to get elsewhere. However, readers of all levels will enjoy this book. The only improvement that could be made to this book is making it available in hard-back cover. Tea lovers, this is one of the best books out there. Regardless of your understanding of tea, this book will enlighten you.
