Reviews

"This book would make a great gift for both tea newcomers and those who can rhapsodize about the smoky complexities of a Lapsang souchong." (L.A. Times)
"The first few pages are a wonderful primer describing each tea's history and flavor profile. The photos are lovely and the 70 all-vegetarian recipes are easy to follow." (Keven Chriss, Marin Independent Journal)
