By Sebastian Beckwith & Caroline Paul
A Little Tea Book: All the Essentials from Leaf to Cup by Sebastian Beckwith & Caroline Paul digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

From tea guru Sebastian Beckwith and New York Times bestsellers Caroline Paul and Wendy MacNaughton comes the essential guide to exploring and enjoying the vast world of tea.

Tea, the most popular beverage in the world after water, has brought nations to war, defined cultures, bankrupted coffers, and toppled kings. And yet in many ways this fragrantly comforting and storied brew remains elusive, even to its devotees. As down-to-earth yet stylishly refined as the drink itself, A Little Tea Book submerges readers into tea, exploring its varieties, subtleties, and pleasures right down to the process of selecting and brewing the perfect cup.

From orange pekoe to pu-erh, tea expert Sebastian Beckwith provides surprising tips, fun facts, and flavorful recipes to launch dabblers and connoisseurs alike on a journey of taste and appreciation. Along with writer and fellow tea-enthusiast Caroline Paul, Beckwith walks us through the cultural and political history of the elixir that has touched every corner of the world. Featuring featuring charming, colorful charts, graphs, and illustrations by bestselling illustrator Wendy MacNaughton and Beckwith's sumptuous photographs , A Little Tea Book is a friendly, handsome, and illuminating primer with a dash of sass and sophistication. Cheers!

A Little Tea Book: All the Essentials from Leaf to Cup Reviews

4.0
“A delightful quick read. Informative, yet brief. Love the combination of photos and watercolor illustrations. I will read this many, many more times. Reminds me of a coffee table book in everything but size!”
“📖 A great little book about what tea is, where it comes from and how to make it. Simple quick read, chock full of info. Taking off a star because the formatting was wonky and it would frequently cut from the middle of a sentence to a diagram or photo and it interrupted the flow of my understanding of the material.”
