Description
Discover the fascinating world of tea through the eyes of a true enthusiast. This revised and expanded edition explores how green, yellow, white, oolong, black, and pu-erh teas all come from the same plant, Camellia sinensis. You'll learn about the intricate relationships between tea growers, makers, and the leaves themselves as they work together to develop your favorite tea's unique flavors. From the reasons why some of the best teas are grown on hillsides to the importance of water, brewing time, temperature, and even the cup you choose, this book delves into the science behind tea's flavors. You'll also discover how our senses experience tea's flavors, the plant's evolutionary history, and the origins of the word "tea".
