Tea : a global history

Helen Saberi (Author)
From oolong to sencha to chai, tea is one of the world's most popular beverages. In Tea, food historian Helen Saberi explores this rich and fascinating history. Saberi looks at the economic and social uses of tea, such as its use as a currency during the Tang dynasty; its role in American independence at the Boston Tea Party; afternoon tea drunk by the British in India; and the 1913 creation of a tea dance or Thé Dansant that combined tea with tango. Featuring vivid images as well as recipes from around the world, Tea is a refreshing and stimulating treat
