Steeped : In the World of Tea

Collaboratively compiled and edited by the team of Sharon Bard, Birgit Nielsen, and Clara Rosemarda, Steeped In The World Of Tea is illustrated with the wonderful color photography of Juliana Spear. This compendium is a literary anthology about the world's most popular drink and spans the globe from Russia, Japan, and Kenya, to Palestine, Germany, and Sumatra. Here presented are recipes for Moroccan mint tea, the perfect Indian chai, Chinese fertility tea, and so much more. Presented are stories of a tea picnic in the Himalayas, to World War II POWs drinking English tea over chess in a Sumatran jungle. Steeped In The World Of Tea is enthusiastically entertaining reading -- especially for anyone who has enjoyed sipping on a cup of tea in pleasant solitude or a warm engagement with friends.
