"This lavishly illustrated full-color book takes readers back to the origins of tea drinking in countries around the world as diverse as Japan, China, Russia, France, America, India, and the Caribbean, not forgetting, of course, England. There are complete menus for the indigenous tea foods of the world, with recipes for appropriate sandwiches, cakes, and cookies. Of particular note and value is a complete glossary of teas, including their place of origin and a description of their individual flavors and brewing methods. Later sections offer an invaluable guide to tea sets, accessories, manufacturers, suppliers, and gourmet sources. From the armchair traveler to the most discerning hostess, this book is a celebration of an earlier time that has returned, bringing with it a world of convivial comfort." - dust jacket. 142 pages. Index. Book clean, tight and unmarked with light wear and bits of sunning to periphery of boards. Light wear to dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart.
