Synopsis
With its own aromas and delights, as well as a host of health bene?ts, including enhancing immune system function and lessening damage from free radicals, green tea continues to grow more popular in American diets. Yet because it is brewed differently, and many varieties of green tea are available, there is more to know about making a good cup of green tea than how to boil water.
The Green Tea User’s Manual leaves no leaf unturned, introducing 16 of the most popular types of green tea, including Dragon Well, Sencha, Jasmine, and the Japanese tea Gen Mai Cha. It describes the three stages of bubbles to look for when boiling water and the various vessels in which to brew, from pots to small covered cups known as guywans. Lovely line drawings, original recipes, anecdotes, lore, and related green tea tips help to make this irresistible little book a perfect gift for anyone with a penchant for tea.

From Booklist
Serious aficionados of green tea will welcome The Green Tea User's Manual from Helen Gustafson, tea buyer for Alice Waters' famous Chez Panisse restaurant. Short though this book may be, it thoroughly covers a subject not well understood in America: the uniqueness of green tea and its distinction from quotidian black tea. Gustafson has researched the best methods for bringing out green tea's essences, and she recommends a lower water temperature than commonly used for brewing black tea. Moreover, she notes that different green teas require different brewing methods. She also offers advice on teapot selection. Gustafson catalogs some of the best teas available, and she is not so snobbish as to completely shun the oft-despised tea bag. A few thoughtful recipes using tea as a flavoring close out the book.
