Nothing is more satisfying than a good brew. From delicate, floral Oolongs to smoky, sophisticated Souchongs, we are gradually beginning to experience the amazing variety and choice of tea. Brian Glover takes us on a journey from the tea bush to the teapot, explaining the origins and increasing popularity of tea, trade routes, growing and harvesting techniques, and how to make the perfect cuppa. He also explores its cultural significance, from the arcane symbolism of the Japanese tea ceremony to the social niceties of the English afternoon tea.
