Did you know that the plain-looking bags you use to brew a steaming mug of tea are steeped in fascinating history? This drink has had wars fought over it, has been smuggled, been the drink of the elite and even been the reason for ship races across the globe! This book describes the journey tea has taken, from ancient Chinese rituals to everyday staple drink. Other topics covered are health aspects of tea, how it is produced, its chemical properties and how it is traded around the world.
