Review
(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
Every year I fall more in love with tea. It fuels me, picks me up in the afternoon, and lulls me to sleep. Especially considering 2020, tea has been my lifeline. While I’ve always been a fan of tea, I’ve only begun to begin experimenting and delving more into tea types. Stuff Every Tea Lover Should Know came at the perfect moment. It is written in a way that is easily digestable and incredibly educational. I love how it is organized – as if it could anticipate my questions!
Answering a plethora of tea related questions, Stuff Every Tea Lover Should Know describes the ways tea is made. The day after reading the first chapter, which was steeped in information, I immediately made my whole family listen to me prattle on about tea. This book will give you the information to begin your own tea journey of discovery. There are so many tea types I want to try! It will help you experience the true art of tea. The refinement and opportunities will open in front of you.
