Such a beautiful and intimate book of essays about tea. I picked this up at the library on a whim and can say I was touched by every single story. So grateful to have found this book!

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I was disappointed by this book. Most of the selections included had little to no effect on me, inspiring neither thought nor feeling- a fatal flaw for something that is more than half poetry. The photography was good and there were two of the selections I did enjoy ("A Geography Of Tea" and "The Wine Of The Poor") so it wasn't a total loss... But I'm glad I bought it off the bargain table instead of paying full price.

One of those wonderfully cute, sentimental books about tea that keep appearing everywhere. There are better books about tea available, so unless you're determined to own every book there is about tea, skip this one.

Loving the art of short stories and trying to develop my palate for different teas, I am astounded at how talented these authors are. I am amazed to learn more about the "rituals" of tea, whether it's the everyday cup, that special cup to help you cope and endure a crisis, or the one that takes you back to your childhood.
