Beginning with the history of tea in all countries, it goes on to discuss the different types; the sorting process; blending process; dishes, pots, and other accessories historically used (with pictures!); and even the lingo used by various types workers. That's just the first half. The second half is a guide to every kind of tea from every region: truly, a mini-encyclopedia.
What I most liked about this book was that it was truly unbiased. It approached tea with a large appreciation for it, but it was about the drink itself, rather than the health benefits. It didn't feel like an advertisement at all. The information was satisfying, but also explained in a way a beginner could understand it. The status of this book is Highly Recommended.
