Part history, part memoir this book will appeal to tea aficionados as much as academic audiences. The scene setting was terrific. Some of the content may feel a bit dull if tea is not your THING but if it is, you will enjoy this look at the tea industry, its history, and what makes the price of tea and its availability move on the market.

I received an advanced reader copy of the book from the NetGalley so I could write an honest review.

A fascinating look into the world of tea. An excellent addition to collections where cookbooks and foodie nonfiction are popular.
