| I've enjoyed reading this book, preparing several of the brews & infusions, and love the photos presented with the text. It's been in use since I purchased it and hasn't yet made it to the bookshelf. |
I love this book!

| Terrific book. Has everything you may ever have a question about when it comes to making teas. Very comprehensive and explanatory list of ingredients (with pictures). Wonderful tea recipes for health, diet, or just relaxing. I am just starting to experiment with growing my own herbs and making teas and this book is the bible for it. |

| This books has a nice history of tea in Asia, the black and green teas especially. It is a great companion to Mary El-Baz's book, The Essence of Herbal and Floral Teas. |
