interesting read, I did not read every word, rather skimmed around the book. There is lots of interesting information about tea. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in teas and their differences and similarities.

Not gonna lie... I'm a flavored tea kind of person. Harney & Sons' Boston is my current addiction. Michael Harney's book has inspired me to be a bit more adventurous - to seek out pure tea and discover the pleasure of it. I've got my sights on a couple Chinese black teas, as well as oolongs. While this isn't meant to be a comprehensive look at pure tea, it covers a range of teas, light to dark, discussing how each is made and the subtle nuances of each. It invites you to develop a discerning palate for tea. Well written!

This book is a very good primer on culinary aspects of hot tea of the "true tea" variety. My major reasoning behind giving this book 3 stars is that there are several other better, more complete books out there at a competitive price to this one.
Unless you are particular to Harney and Son's tea, I would suggest getting the second edition of the New Tea Companion. It includes pictures of what the tea should look like in addition to a more inclusive tea selection than this particular book.

Loved learning more about something that takes so much of my time (and money). The way the book flows is really good and it really makes you appreciate tea more.
