Kera's Reviews > The Tea Companion

I enjoyed the book more in the beginning but it lost a lot of my interest as it got more technical and this book is REALLY technical (e.g., comparing specific numbers of millions of pounds of tea consumed in this century versus that century in this country compared to that country). The perspective and a lot of the history leans heavily toward the British side of things.

However, it's still a good book. It was written in a clear and simple manner, is really comprehensive and detailed for someone who enjoys tea and just wants to know a lot more about it. Slightly outdated as it was written back in 2004, but the techniques regarding things like brewing and storing is still relevant. It's definitely a good tea book to own.
