A History of Tea: The Life and Times of the World's Favorite Beverage

great book full of interesting informations and stories. I believe that for tea lovers mush have! not boring and history is written clear.

I have started my lifelong studying of tea. Delighted to have read this book, and I will keep in my library to read again.

Interesting book for tea lovers who would like to know the origin of the beverage.4 stars

Well written, history and info on teas. Very interesting book

It is the exact same book as _Tea: the drink that changed the world_ by Laura C Martin.It was just published in a different year with a different title. It has the same content, author and publisher. The only difference is that _A History of Tea_ has colored pictures in the middle. And _A History of Tea_ has a different fount so the page numbers are different. It's not a bad book, in fact it's a great book, but the deception by the publishers leave a bad taste in one's mouth. Hence the three stars. If you have _Tea: The Drink that changed the World_ you will not need to buy_A History of Tea_ and visa versa.

Wife loves it , Thanks again !!!

Wonderful book about tea and easy to read. Love it

This makes a great addition to any tea themed gift basket!

I found this little book very complete and insightful. Although the book of tea by Okakura Kakuzo is likely the best introductory book to the world of tea (and holds also historical value) this one goes deeper in the history of how tea developed into what we know today. Fantastic book i wish it was available in spanish though :(
