Tea by Helen Saberi
Food historian Helen Saberi explores the rich and fascinating history of tea.
'These are food memoirs, salacious and exotic, colorful, powdered, sweet, greasy and globe-trotting.. sharp and speedy little reads, spotted with off-kilter illustrations' - Chicago Tribune 'These little morsels of books are part of a delightful and new imprint known as the Edible series ... The history of each foodstuff is set out compactly and with erudition ... in each case, it's when the history moves closer to current day that revelation and delight meet.' - Diplomat magazine 'The Edible series of books, with titles such as Tea, Sandwich, Soup and others, are full of fascinating facts but are almost small enough to squeeze into a Christmas stocking.' - Delicious 'a charming, erudite little book' - Oxford Times 'as the subtitle of this handy, informative little volume indicates, tea is enjoyed the world over and ranks, globally,as the second-most-popular beverage after water.' - Booklist 'a highly readable, engaging book, one best enjoyed while sipping a cup of tea oneself.' - InMamasKitchen
