TEA: A USER'S GUIDE
READER FEEDBACK
“Tony has written the most useful user’s guide to tea I’ve ever seen, it’s a contribution anybody would be proud to make, but precious few could have imagined.”
“Tony’s book goes a long ways towards answering the questions that the growing number of tea drinkers have trying to navigate misleading marketing tactics used by major tea companies. His book should be on the shelf of every tea drinkers library.”
“Tony’s focus is to provide factual knowledge about specialty tea. He doesn’t go into culture, history, mythical stories, or any other topic that would distract from that goal.”
“This book is about as factual as you can get without being intimidating or snobbish. Everything from tea harvesting and processing to the categories of tea is covered in an in-depth but easily understandable way.”
