Abstract:
In today's increasingly health-conscious world, the afternoon cocktail date is being replaced by a variation on the British "tea-time." It is a time for entertaining friends and business associates, and hotels and restaurants across the country have established it as an institution. The atmosphere is distinguished, elegant, and relaxed; tea is the time to wind down from the day's activities. This full-color illustrated book takes the reader back to the origins of tea drinking in countries around the world. There are menus for the indigenous tea foods of the world, with recipes for appropriate sandwiches, cakes, and cookies. Of particular note is a glossary of teas, including their place of origin and a description of their individual flavors and brewing methods. Later sections offer a guide to tea sets, accessories, manufacturers, suppliers, and gourmet sources.--From publisher description.
