| FEATURE INTRO – The True History of Tea is a meticulously researched, readable 280-page book that takes you back in time. Kyle Whittington, founder of the TeaBookClub in London, describes the work of sinologist Victor H. Mair and journalist Erling Hoh as “one of those rare instances where, rather than the dry read that the title suggests, the reader is instead treated to an engaging and captivating page-turner.”
A Definitive and Entertaining History of Tea – “If there was one thing that this book did better than any other tea history book,” writes Whittington, “it presents us with new areas of knowledge and different tellings of familiar stories in the great and long history of the plant, beverage, and tea customs. From the Mongolian tribes to the Australian outback, we were taken to lands, explored customs, and followed the humble leaf’s progress in rarely explored areas.”
