From Booklist
Tea drinking is so fundamentally a part of many cultures around the world that it's surprising so few Americans take part in the custom. The curious seeking to know more about tea-drinking habits and the nature of the brew itself may turn to the cleverly titled Tea Chings. Rob Rubin and Stuart Avery Gold, who together operate a major tea distribution corporation, share their vast knowledge in a simple, readable text that makes a highly useful reference book covering all sorts of tea lore. In addition to describing tea consumption habits in various nations, they distinguish among various teas and herb brews commonly available. A glossary of tea-drinking terms answers many a question that novice tea aficionados may have. Mark KnoblauchCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
