With interest in tea on the rise - especially for items like green tea and chai - the New Tea Book is completely updated and revised and stands as the ultimate authority on tea. Not only does it contain all-new photography, but the recipes are either new or have been rewritten and re-tested. All aspects of tea are covered, from descriptions of each variety and its history to preparing the perfect blend and serving it from the perfect teapot. 45 recipes cover the entire culinary spectrum including drinks, main courses, light lunches, and desserts and other sweets. The new edition has a never-before-seen chapter on the home spa with 11 recipes for tub sachets, soaps, and soothing herbal tea blends. Hard to find teas and equipment are now easy to locate with the handy resource section. Author Sara Perry has written a number of popular cookbooks for Chronicle Books including the Complete Coffee Cookbook (Spring 2001), also newly revised and updated.

Great Photos
7 April 2005
By Apple Grey
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This books has many beautiful photos in it, but was rather sparse content wise. I was at first thrilled as I thumbed through the pages, but when I sat down to read it properly I was somewhat disappointed. What I thought was a section on cooking with tea was actually a recipe section for items that go well with tea. There were perhaps 2 or 3 recipes that actually contained tea as an ingredient.

A nice coffee (tea?) table book.
12 Dec 2003
By Timothy Read
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The New Tea Book is a nice, light read for those who want to learn a little more about tea. It's not the definitive treatise on the subject, but it's great to just pick up and flip through.
There are a number of subjects covered, mainly breaking down into information about the history and production of tea; varieties and types of tea; preparation and serving information; and a few recipes.
It's not the densest book around. If you're knowledgeable about the subject, you know everything that's contained in here already. True tea snobs will find a thing or two to turn their nose up at.
The recipes are interesting, and while I haven't had a chance to try any yet, they may be one of the best reasons to buy the book (snob or no). There are recipes for desserts, beverages, and a few sandwiches. Some of this stuff looks real good and pretty easy to pull off.
The photography is top-notch, and in some cases almost justifies the purchase of the price. But just be ready for light reading that you can flip through as opposed to deep, informative writing.

Very beautiful concise introduction!

This would be a perfect gift for most of those who love art and life style...It's such a beautifully written and illustrated book that you would like to keep for a very long time. It provided concise yet somewhat comprehensive survey of modern noted teas and the related. The best thing I like about it is that it provides detailed web sources as to where to buy teaware and teas and what are the existing noted teahouses in America. It's up to date survey. Highly recommended.
