PASSION FOR TEA: Its History, Its Future, Its Health Benefits.
Tea is Trendy Although tea has been enjoyed for more than 5,000 years, once again it has become a hot commodity. It is one of the fastest-growing commercial products in the U.S., partly because of its proven health benefits.Today’s tea is more delicious and “with it” than coffee. You will discover why in this informative and beautiful book!
Tea is Sensuous There is nothing more luxurious than an excellent cup of hot tea. Imagine yourself in a bubble bath with a cup of Jasmine green. The fragrance, the flavor, and a little soft music soothes the soul and releases the tensions of ordinary life. It’s heaven!
Tea Questions Which is the best tea: green, black, oolong, puerh, flavored, or white? What is the proper way to easily prepare delicious tea? Why are the flat, skimpy teabags served in many hotels and teahouses a no-no? How do you gain the most health benefits? Where will you find important tea research set out in an easy to understand format? Passion for Tea answers these and many other questions.
Beverly Rorem is a student of tea, having enjoyed it in more than twenty different countries and still learning. Born in Illinois, she lived in San Francisco for twenty years, then moved to Oklahoma City where she is a freelance journalist, short story writer, essayist, teacher, and perhaps the slowest-writing novelist in the world.
No Kidding! You can be thinner, healthier, more vibrant, have better skin, and even be in a better mood by drinking tea. Especially if you drink a lot of green tea!
Scientific studies prove that tea calms you while at the same time it makes you more alert. No more coffee jitters! That alone seems reason enough to begin drinking more tea.
I hope to wean Americans from skimpy teabags sprayed with flavoring. Good tea begins with real Camellia sinensis leaves, not with leftover crumbs of dried leaf.
