From its sometimes murky origins to today's wide range of tea ceremonies, Lisa Boalt Richardson delves into the world of tea to create a fresh and accessible package for tea rookies and gurus alike. With tips for shopping, storing, steeping, and tasting, plus advice for using tea in pairings, cooking, cocktails, and home health remedies, this fascinating read is everyone's cup of tea.

Thank you so much for my #elfswap gift, @Shakespearience ! I love the theme and am excited to dig Into the book! @Avanders

bibliobard I hoped your would enjoy 😉 I may have to go back and order some socks for myself 3y
ImperfectCJ @Shakespearience The socks are sweet. I love the little kettles and tea cups on the fronts, too. This is actually my first pair of "talking" socks, so extra exciting for me! 3y
Avanders Yay!! Great socks! 😁🎄♥️🧚🏽‍♀️ Merry Christmas! 3y

Well, it‘s not really a #ChippyTea ... it‘s more of a “lazy lunch at home” tea. 😆

LeahBergen @Aimeesue Thanks! 😘 5y
LeahBergen @saresmoore A nice, strong Scottish Breakfast tea. 😄 5y
writerlibrarian Ditto the ☕️ so lovely 5y
Melissa_J Oh, I do so love that mug 🥰. I have an order coming in from Murchies next week. I love the Prince Charles and Golden Jubilee black tea blends, plus I have some Canadian Breakfast coming too. 5y
LeahBergen @writerlibrarian Thank you! 😘 5y
LeahBergen @Melissa_J I love Prince Charles (the tea 😉) and Golden Jubilee, too. I‘m not a big fan of Canadian Breakfast, though. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I am so about the plain old black teas right now (in my latest tea phase 😆😆). 5y
Melissa_J I totally understand! I‘ve given up on David‘s Tea because so much of their stuff doesn‘t actually seem like tea anymore. I‘m predominantly drinking plain old black teas myself at the moment, at least until the Canadian Breakfast arrives. I do like that hint of maple 🍁 5y
LeahBergen @Melissa_J Exactly! I was just thinking the same thing about David‘s Tea. I was looking at an email and thinking, “what ARE these flavours??”. I haven‘t ordered from them in ages! 5y
Cathythoughts And ofcorse you have tea cups & saucers with book designs on them 👍🏻♥️beautiful 5y
Amiable I am also a black tea fanatic, @LeahBergen 👍🏼👍🏼 5y
LeahBergen @Amiable It‘s the best! 😄 5y
Cinfhen Amazing convo @Melissa_J @LeahBergen I‘m so mad, I meant to buy David‘s Tea when I was in Canada and I totally forgot 🤬 5y
Cinfhen Also that teacup!!!!!! 5y
Melissa_J @Cinfhen have you had it before? What kinds of flavours do you like? I can send you some 😊 5y
LeahBergen @Cinfhen I‘ll send you some! Where did you go in Canada when you were on this side of the pond?? 5y
Cinfhen You guys are both awesome 😘 @LeahBergen @Melissa_J I‘ve only tried a few flavors but I‘m willing to try any and all ☺️I‘ve had cinnamon, peppermint and a fruity one and they were all fantastic. I was in Ontario, Toronto, Montreal and Quebec City. We had such a great time. 5y
