🔽 Review summary 🔽
★★★★☆ A very thorough book, about tea and all about tea. Very British, it's just like how they know how to dissect wine, but tea is a lot closer to their hearts and pride.
🔽 Book review and notes 🔽
A very thorough book, about tea and all about tea.
As the author is a British politician as well as a son of a tea garden manager, it's detailed, and definitely well researched, it goes into a lot of politics and figures, rather than sensibilities of tea as a culture.
It talks about tea by topic per chapter, which somehow made it difficult to read for me but it's justifiable because it touches a lot of aspects.
Very British, it's just like how the British know how to dissect wine, but tea is a lot closer to their hearts and pride.
