After all, tea is the drink! Domestically and socially it is the beverage of the world. There may be those who will come forward with their figures to prove that other fruits of the soil—agriculturally and commercially—are more important. Perhaps they are right when quoting statistics. But what other product can compare with tea in the high regard in which it has always been held by writers whose standing in literature, and recognized good taste in other walks, cannot be questioned? (From the Preface)

A Little Tea Book is a clever book about all things tea- Eastern and Western tea history, stories, culture, quotes, and even poetry. A good little read for tea lovers everywhere. (Summary by Mary Kay) (1 hr 41 min)

For the love of tea

This was nice easy listening. Informative and quaint, of interest to any who call themselves a tea lover.

I have found this educational, diverting, and even extracted some quotations from this lovely read. (Or would one call it a "listen"?)

Well enough read. But oh my gosh was that ever boring! Might be good for falling asleep.

Not much real history. On tea, but does dredge up enough to show the changing of times from hard liquor to modern day drinking society.
