Tea is for Everyone A Chinese Tea Guide Format: Cloth Over Boards

Tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world — but how much do you know about this exquisite drink made from the Camellia sinensis plant? And how much do you know about Chinese tea, the original infusion that started it all?

In Tea is for Everyone, author Chan Sin Yan dives into everything that’s relevant to Chinese tea: from the history of tea to the tea-making processes that differentiate a wulong from a green tea; from the six main types to the myriad styles of teas available; from famous Chinese tea-growing regions to the latest popular teaware; from food and tea pairing advice to seasonal tea suggestions and brewing etiquette. Readers can also glean straight from the source, as tea makers from across mainland China and Taiwan share their insights on the art and business of producing tea.

Author and tea expert Chan Sin Yan transforms a sophisticated topic into easily digestible tidbits. She weaves her experience visiting tea plantations; talking to tea producers; and working for a local tea brand into a powerful and knowledgeable narrative on Chinese tea.
