Arizonagirl's Reviews > The Tea Companion

This is a beautiful little book with a lot of beautiful photos. It is broken into two parts. The first part includes a history of tea, the production of tea, tea equipage, and tea appreciation. The second part is a global tea directory. The directory section discusses each tea-producing region and mentions some of their well-known teas. I wish the author would have given more tasting notes about each tea but she said she didn't want to since the teas can vary year by year. I also found information online that had content that was nearly identical to this book. I hope that the website was an article that the author wrote and not information that the author plagiarized or information that was plagiarized from her book. There are a lot of little nuggets of good information in this book and I enjoyed reading it. This was my November book in my project to read one book I own each month and then decide if I will keep it. This one is a keeper.
