Written for the grocer who lived by his tea counter, this handbook classifies the teas of China, India, Ceylon, Japan and Formosa and explains how to taste and select them. It exposes the adulterations of the trade and gives recipes for blends, such as Formosa Oolong with pekoe-tipped Assam, along with advice on keeping and brewing.
A practical curiosity that still rewards tea lovers who want to understand how blends are built. Download the free EPUB.
