Summary: Wonderful guide
Review: This book is a well-written and informative guide to tearooms in the Bay Area. The author is obviously passionate about her subject, and communicates her enthusiasm with great sensitivity, persuasiveness, and subtle humor. I recommend this book to anyone who loves tea, likes tea, or is thinking of investigating "the new coffee."

Summary: Good, but several Penninsula establishments have closed
Review: This is a lovely book, but several of the shops our family traveled to (all dressed up) had shut down. This may simply be an aspect of the volitility of the Silicon Valley Goldrush. The author caught that the shop in Stanford Shopping Center had closed, but it has not reopened at the parent restaurant as she had been advised. The Butler's Pantry was barred and the building cleared out of furnature. A third had left a note, "no tea today". The tea shop in Mountain View is a real gem. Its late hours make it a favorite with locals. The tea is absolutely wonderful, and very unique. Buyer beware! Be sure to call first.
