The Harney & Sons Guide to Tea
The Harney & Sons Guide to Tea | Michael Harney
8 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
Read Michael Harney's posts on the Penguin Blog. The countrys leading connoisseur presents a comprehensive guide for developing your tea palate. The Harney & Sons Guide to Tea transforms tea drinkers into tea experts. Written by one of the countrys leading tea professionals, The Harney & Sons Guide to Tea is an illuminating resource for tea drinkers interested in developing and refining their palate as well as their understanding of the complex agricultural, historical, and cultural significance of tea. Drawing on his singular experience, Michael Harney masterly explores the full range of teas, revealing how each tea is distinctive, with a taste that derives from a precise combination of cultivation and production techniques, and influenced by the geography as well as its history. These lively profiles of diverse tea varietiesfrom delicate white tea to aged black puerh teainclude brewing instructions and vivid descriptions of the beverage scent, taste, and appearance; everything you need to become a connoisseur. Tea has long been popular in the United States, but only recently have Americans treated this nuanced beverage with a deeper curiosity, more refined approach, and wider appetite. The Wall Street Journal reports that total U.S. tea sales are nearly four times what they were in 1990, and this growing population of discriminate consumers will celebrate the new vocabulary provided in The Harney & Sons Guide to Tea. Unique in scope, candor, and accessibility, The Harney & Sons Guide to Tea will quickly become the classic reference and staple in the library of every serious tea drinker.

My latest tea order came with a free book! Also, it amuses me to tag a competitor's guide to tea book.

annamatopoetry I think it's a hot beverage emoji; I'm getting it for coffee as well. 6y
silentrequiem @annamatopoetry Close enough, I guess. 6y

Here are my #favoritebookmarks, happy in their little tea tin on my bedside table—including a snarky (demurely bitchy?) pencil for note taking and occasional sacrilegious underlining.

MyNamesParadise Nice!! 7y
Lindy Ha! Share notes made with that demurely bitchy pencil with us, please. It's sure to have an influence. (edited) 7y

saresmoore @Lindy How true that our tools shape us! 7y
DebinHawaii Cute! 👍😀 7y

BibliophileMomma I totally just stole your idea! Sorry not sorry. Lol. I had been trying to find something around my house to put my bookmarks in. I had an empty one of those tins it's perfect. 7y
saresmoore @Tiffness83 I love it! They are so useful! I filled one with rocks and made it a bookend (could be a door stopper), another couple became planters, and they're also great pen holders. 7y
shawnmooney I NEED THAT (DEMURELY BITCHY) PENCIL! 😂 7y
Redy2trvl ❤❤❤ What a great idea, and soooo cute! 7y
Hobbinol Lovely! I like the tatted (?) one AND the Harney tin (goes without saying) and... um... occasionally I get the lead out but I'm usually not the slightest bit demure about it!😊 7y
saresmoore @Hobbinol Ahahaha! You always make me smile. 7y
