More about the book

The history of tea dates back to the 3rd millennium BC. Initially used solely as a medicinal beverage, it became a commercial product in Europe in the 17th century, evolving into a widely enjoyed drink. This handbook outlines the key milestones in tea's history and provides valuable information on cultivation, production, and preparation. The second part of the book features a directory of teas organized by growing regions, offering detailed and knowledgeable descriptions of all commercially available varieties, along with guidance on how to brew each tea to fully develop its aroma and flavor. Additionally, it includes recommendations on which teas to serve for different occasions and with various foods.
