This review is long overdue but I cannot miss reviewing a book about tea because… well it combines two of my favourite things. While I have read a few books on the history of tea and Britain, Putting the Tea in Britain is unique because it focuses on the contributions of the Scots. Starting with… Read More Tea Book Review: Putting the Tea in Britain by Les Wilson
It has been a while since I dug into a tea-related book, so when I saw this in the library’s online shelves, I thought it was too interesting to pass over! As it happens, the book is a little dry but no matter, the subject matter of the history of Japanese green tea in America… Read More Tea Book Review: Green With Milk And Sugar by Robert Hellyer
In my quest to read more books about tea, I stumbled across this one called Tea and Tourism. It’s published in 2007, so it’s a bit dated, but I hadn’t really heard of tea being paired with tourism as a concept and I wanted to find out more about it. With contributions from multiple researchers,… Read More Book Review: Tea and Tourism edited by Lee Jolliffe
When I finished reading The Age of Innocence yesterday, I was a bit worried about what I was going to read next because I had planned on taking longer to read it and finding my next book in Singapore. But luckily for me, my hold on Infused by Henrietta Lovell (which I made earlier this… Read More June ’23 Rereading: Day 28 – Infused (Part 1)
Lately, I’ve been looking into a mysTEAry regarding a line in one of Agatha Christie’s books and how many types of afternoon teas there might have been. Which is how I found Afternoon Tea: A History by Julia Skinner. I’ve read a bit about afternoon teas while reading other tea books (such as in A… Read More Tea Book Review: Afternoon Tea by Julia Skinner
This is going to be a short review because it’s mostly an art book. I considered just putting it on Goodreads to track my stats but it’s so cute I would still like to share it with you (sidenote: I don’t like this mindset I have that short reviews aren’t worth posting for posterity here… Read More Book Review: A Teacup Collection by Molly Hatch
Despite the fact that I’m a huge fan of Japanese tea, I’ve only attended a tea once, as part of my finishing school course. With the brashness of youth, I agreed to be the 正客 (main guest) and with a lot of prompting from the teachers and guest lecturers, somehow made it through the ceremony.… Read More Book Review: Every Day a Good Day by Noriko Morishita
I have reached a new level in my tea journey – people are asking me about tea books! Honestly, I’m really happy about this development because I love tea and reading so this is both my interests combined. And when my friend asked me if I had read The True History of Tea and what… Read More Book Review: The True History of Tea by Victor H Mair and Erling Hoh
I recently checked my “Tea Book” tag and I realised that I have 35 posts in this tag! Even if you assume that some books have two posts (which is pretty rare), it still implies that I read a lot of tea books. So I thought it would be fun to do a post about… Read More Which Tea Book Should You Read?
I got this (and a few tea samples) as part of The Tea Crane Kickstarter and was super excited to dive into it! For context, I read this after finishing the third report for the Japanese Tea Instructor course, so I was already in the frame of mind where I wanted to learn more about… Read More Tea Book Review: The Story of Japanese Tea by Tyas Sosen
