The Charms of Tea plays tribute to the elegant ritual with inspirational writings, recipes and special menus, and exquisite art and photography that set the mood for this very special time of day.

There are nearly 65 recipes for making sweets and savories, including such classic teatime treats as Cucumber Snadwiches with Mint Butter, Currant and Pecan Scones, Sage Bread, Spiced Blackberry Jam, Raspberry and Lemon Curd Hearts, and Chocolate Torte. You'll learn the secrets of preparing and serving the perect pot of tea, the wonderful variet of tea leaves to choose from, suggestions for beautiful table settings, and unique menu ideas for picnic teas, breakfast teas, garden teas, and nursery teas.

The Charms of Tea, with its delightful reminicemces amd delicious recipes, is to be shared, savored, and treasured as the tradition of tea itself has been for more than two centuries.
