Tea 101

This book is an excellent compendium on the history and differing types of tea. I didn't know that all tea comes from the same species of plant (Camellia sinesis), and that the main differences depend on the conditions and location in which the plants are grown. Ms. Resnick does repeat herself (simply a case of poor editing), but all the information here is interesting, especially to tea drinkers. There is also a section on various cultures' tea ceremonies and how to create your own; as well as several recipes for tea snacks.

An incredibly useful tea book

My mother gave this book to me after learning of my newly developed love of tea, and it has been really helpful. It describes all the different kinds of tea and offers suggestions about which kinds to try, and has a tasty scone recipe as well as others I haven't tried yet. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone new to tea and wanting to learn more!
