My only complaint is that some of the recipes do not yield results quite as good as the author's description of them. Nevertheless, they do make tasty treats for teatime.
The book is subtititled "The Ecstasy of My Life in Tea," and it's a charming chatty thing about tea cultivation and technology and history, woven in with reminiscences of tea parties from childhood to middle age. I've been reading it a few minutes at a time, while my tea brews in the morning.
