Book Reviews of The New Tea Companion

Book Review: An useful handbook
Summary: 4 Stars

'The New Tea Companion' turns out to be a useful and informative little handbook, not exhaustive, but certainly helpful. After a section decribing the various available teas, a brief history and a walk-through guide to modern production, the authors share with us their thoughts on specific teas from each tea-producing nation and region. These descriptions and recommendations can be ever so helpful in choosing the next sort of tea to explore. Each entry provides photos of dry leaf, wet leaf and cupped tea. It is sad, however, that the editors or printers did not catch the world map printed backwards on page 90.

Summary of The New Tea Companion

London's Jane Pettigrew has joined American tea writer Bruce Richardson in creating the updated guide to teas throughout the world. Beautifully illustrated, this 2008 edition gives detailed information and brewing instructions for over 120 teas from every major tea producing region. Chapters on the newest information about tea and health, tea production, tea blending and tea hospitality are included. This book is a valuable up-to-date addition to libraries of both tea novices and professionals. If you have ever wondered about the time and temperature to brew your teas - white, green, black, or oolong - this is the book for you.
