review 1: For some reason, I have been itching to get into tea. Doing a Google search didn't help because there is so much information out there. I figure I'd do something a little old fashioned and read a very basic beginners book.19 Lessons On Tea is a bit misleading of a title. I had thought that I'd be getting 19 lessons about tea. Instead, what I got were 19 snippets about tea.Now as a noob that shouldn't be too bad for me, but it was. The fact of the matter is the information presented was too short for me to actually learn anything. And the information that was in those snippets weren't particularly interesting. Reading them was like reading a small paragraph in a history book. What was even the point?Now the book did do one thing well. As short as the information and the inf... moreormation is, it does cover a lot. It covers pretty much every tea in existence, their origin, how they got brought over and so on. So I do give it props for that.Anyways, I suppose I'll have to just try a bunch of tea and figure out what I want. Since I borrowed this from Amazon, I don't regret reading it, but I'm glad I didn't buy it either.
review 2: Hardly a scholarly work, and yet not what one would want in a coffee table book, this small book's appeal lies in its directness in KNOWING how to make tea. The steps are easy to follow and if done correctly you can have the "right cup of tea." Although for tea, like coffee, it seems that there is some variation in how we all like it done...perhaps worth the 15 minutes so I can argue the finer merits with my driver in England when the time comes again. less
