Book Review — “Time for Tea” by Michele Rivers
When an American hears the phrase “afternoon tea,” it conjures up images of fancy tea rooms, lace tablecloths, and silver tea services. For the English, afternoon tea is far simpler.

Book Review — “The Story of Tea”
I come across many tea books as I peruse the shelves at book stores and libraries, where I spend a great deal of my free time. Many of them are redundant, but this book is not one of them. The Story of Tea by Mary Lou and Robert J. Heiss is one of the most… Continue reading

In a sea of books about tea, a reader can find it hard to select one that gives facts yet is also visually pleasing.
