ISBN 1-883010-60-8. Here is a slender and pretty booklet, a good reference and a fun read. Along with sections on basic nomenclature, history, and tea processing technology, the volume offers information on home tea brewing and all the tools needed to do it right. Most of it is a collection of forty recipes (with instructions) supplied by fifteen tea scholars and other cognoscenti. All of these recipes involve herbs and spices to produce beverages under such rubrics as "energizing," "relaxing," "comforting," "festive," and "seasonal," plus two others entitled "green teas" and "chai," the latter a home-blended spicy tea by and for true tea aficionados. Some thirty herbal ingredients are described in the first chapter, including remarks on their safety. The author challenges her readers to grow and gather a few of these to make the final result a totally integrated soothing experience. The writing is excellent, no medical claims are made, and some interesting facts are presented. All in all, it's a no-nonsense book that can be made to work for the production of satisfaction at several levels--culinary, creative, social, and intellectual.
