Holt - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I am someone who appreciates all things tea and have just recently revisted this book which I've had for sometime. While it does not give you detailed information on proper tea etiquette and how to actually do a tea event, it does give you insights on tea, it's rituals, and how to brew a perfect pot, with beautiful photography on each page. There are some helpful menus to make a themed tea and recipes throughout the book, some with their photos.
