Interesting little book. Covers many aspects about tea from types of tea to the equipment and on to reading tea leaves. Light hearted, but of course
I disagree with some of his methods- one does not use boiling water on anything but black tea.
However, in my used copy some degenerate cut out the last 4 pages. Not only were they not neat about it but they left me puzzled about what came after and prevents me from becoming a reader of the leaves. A pox unto them and theirs.

This is a tiny handmade book purchased at an art festival...so I was pretty surprised to see that it had an ISBN and was on goodreads! I agree with the author's prescribed tea prep method, though I don't typically scald the pot or cups, and I sometimes use teabags. The book is very attractively laid-out, too.

En smuk lille bog. Forfatteren er opfyldt af retfærdig harme over at få serveret middelmådig eller elendig te alle steder og koppen løber over, da selv hans mor klager over at man ikke kan få serveret en anstændig kop te i Irland.

Forfatteren har modtaget noget American Classic Tea fra Charleston Plantagen, men det faldt ikke i smag. Jeg har også smagt det og nej, det indbyder ikke til regelmæssig brug. Den slags giver ekstra troværdighed til forfatteren.
