An exceptionally in depth look into the history, culture and economics of tea the world over. I especially liked the reviews of specific teas by growing region and style. I love that this book has been updated as of 2007, as many similar guides are too old to give a good sense of where the industry currently stands (they even included Kauai which I was especially interested in hearing about). A huge amount of travel and research went into composing this book and I will be using it for many years to come as a reference guide. Tea is such an enormous subject with histories in some countries dating back thousands of years.
