I absolutely love this author's writing but I really wanted more about tea. The writings are meaningful and nice and there are recipes for tea menus, I was just hoping for a little more about the ceremony of tea itself. Not bad at all, just not quite what I hoped for.

TEA AT GLENBROOKE is a time of refreshing. Filled with beautifully worded essays, poems, and inspirational quotes, it invites you to take some time to yourself, to reflect on the words and thoughts, enjoy the beautifully illustrated pictures that go along with it.
To complete your enjoyment and time of refreshing, there are pages of tea time recipes included. Chicken Salad Sandwiches. Citrus Tea Bread. Scones. And the lists go on. I would love to try some of the recipes included in this book.
Also included at the back of the book is a listing of popular teas, with a brief description of each. This part is probably not needed for tea lovers as they are already well versed in tea. But maybe it will give you a craving for a type you haven’t had in a while.
