Tea is one of my favourite things, so I was looking forward to reading this book. While there was some good parts to this book, I found a lot of it dry. Yes, maybe this book is just presenting facts, but I believe it could have been done in a much more polished way. There were errors throughout that anyone could notice, unless tea is special and has exceptions. I learned a bit, but not a lot from this book. There were only a handful of chapters I enjoyed. The idea of tea experiments is fun, so I may tag that, but other than that, I'd easily pass. If you want a more engaging book about tea, read Infused by Henrietta Lovell.
