Publisher's Synopsis
TeaTime Magazine called Tea "the reference work we've been waiting for", noting its value to students.
Library Journal praised Tea as a "definitive guide to tea (that) will appeal to die-hard tea enthusiasts."
Tea House Times found Tea "impressive, well researched, and complete."
Tea takes readers on an escorted tour of the world's tea-growing countries -- China, Japan, Taiwan, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Vietnam and East Africa -- where they will discover how, like a fine wine, it is "terroir" (soil and climate) that gives a tea its unique characteristics.
The authors own the popular Camellia Sinensis Tea House in Montreal which imports teas directly from producers in these countries. Each author focuses on specific tea regions where they travel every year to work with growers and producers, discover new teas and keep abreast of developments that might, for example, remove a tea from the tea house's menu.
