The Way To Tea

For millennia, tea has moved across continents, creating in its wake a tea culture that affects each society's economic, spiritual, culinary, and creative core. The Way to Tea explores this history and tradition at its center in San Francisco. In engaging text and lovely photographs, Jennifer Sauer charts her adventures from tea room to tea house to tea nightclub across the Bay Area. Sauer recounts memorable experiences, profiles the exceptional tea people who helped provide them, and includes a glossary that covers everything from terroir to tasting methods.
