Brian's Reviews > The Tea Companion

Nonfiction is not usually my thing, especially "gift books" about relatively niche topics like this one. However, I enjoyed the thorough discussion of how tea is made and the history of tea production and consumption. The last third to half or so of the book is devoted to a fairly exhaustive survey of all the tea-producing regions in the world and the types of tea for which they are known, which is very useful for someone looking to expand their knowledge of tea varieties or potentially for a tea connoisseur looking to find new varieties.
