Editorial Reviews

Review

If someone as formidable as Lady Bracknell of Oscar Wilde s The Importance of Being Earnest were to invite me to tea, I'd know exactly what to do: Call Dorothea Johnson! Not even the loftiest and most English ceremony of afternoon tea daunts Dorothea. The addition of Bruce Richardson's tea knowledge makes this a valuable tea resource. --James Norwood Pratt, The Tea Lovers' Treasury

Sensible, sophisticated advice on the etiquette woven into the rituals of tea time. Johnson and Richardson have created a book that is fun and easy, and sure to increase everyone's enjoyment of tea. --John Harney, Master Tea Blender --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Product Description

Afternoon tea is one of the fastest-growing trends in America. Hotels, country inns, and tearooms are reviving this most relaxing repast. The customs and courtesies associated with serving tea are new to many Americans eager to use tea as an alternative to the business lunch or dinner, or as a special event. This book, written by one of America s foremost authorities on etiquette and protocol, is a fanciful, but correct, guide to the pleasures of tea at home and for business purposes. Etiquette is the tapestry woven throughout this delightful book which aims to inform and amuse the novice and the connoisseur. Step-by-step guidelines include the history and legends of tea, hosting an afternoon tea at home, brewing the perfect pot of tea and serving it with aplomb, going out to tea in tearooms, restaurants and hotels, a complete guide to being a great host or guest during this pleasant alternative to the business lunch or dinner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Reference on tea entertainment, November 30, 1999
By A Customer
I find this book very useful and informative. The author presents the material in a concise and down to earth manner. The etiquette portion of this book contains do's and do not's that leaves no questions. The tone of the book is conversational just like the topic it explains. If you are thinking about having a tea party for the first time or attending to one, this book is a must read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a book with everything..., January 25, 2004
I am starting a small catering business doing tea parties! This book is perfect! It has everything you always wanted to know about preparing, enjoying and serving tea. From the different types of tea from Cream Tea to High Tea and what to do with the tea bag after you've taken it out of your tea cup. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to serve and to enjoy a proper afternoon of tea. Thank you for being so thorough.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide for etiquette in the 90's., August 7, 1999
By A Customer
This book is an excellent follow-up to Mrs. Johnson's miniature book "The Little Book of Etiquette". It primarily focuses on etiquette in the tea room, but it also discusses everyday etiquette as well as business etiquette. This is an easy to understand, user-friendly book. A must for anyone who loves to take tea.
