Tea in the East

“Tea in the East,” by Carole Manchester takes readers on a trip across the earliest nations to produce tea China, Japan, India, and Sri Lanka to experience the delights of the age-old beverage. Beautiful full-color images of tea rituals and their exotic surroundings are used to richly illustrate the book. It explores the sophisticated ritual of drinking tea throughout Asia, encompassing everything from the solemn,

contemplative whisking of powdered green tea in a silent room in Kyoto to the earthy flavor of aged tea leaves steeped for seconds in a little clay pot in China. In addition, the book explores the numerous pleasing flavors and smells of Asian teas and offers recipes for delectable and unique tea accompaniments. It’s a serene and distinctive investigation of Eastern tea customs.
