Get Hold Of Tea Time: Delicious Recipes, Fascinating Facts, Secrets Of Tea Preparation, And More Assembled By Francis Amalfi In Readable Copy

Must for Tea Lovers

This is a wonderful book for anyone who loves tea, or is into health! It has quotes for the intellectuals, recipes for the gourmets, stories for the younger ones, culture for the history buffs, and benefits for the health nuts! Truly something for everyone! "Tea Time" is a book of tea miscellany translated from Spanish Todos los Tés del Mundo.
The author brings together a smattering of tearelated subject matter in a somewhat disjointed manner from health benefits to an abbreviated tea history, from an abridged look at chanoyu to a collection of quotes about tea, from recipes to brewing methods.


Unfortunately, most of the book centers around presenting questionable information or opinions as facts, This includes presentation health benefits information, brewing and storage options, interchanging the words oxidization and fermentation, and classifying puer as "red tea" to name a few.


The recipes in this book cover teatails, savory foods, desserts and herbal tisane blends, Many of the recipes include spartan directions for preparation, leaving out length of time for crucial steps and/or end state descriptions.
As a plus, many include measures in weight and not volume,

As a point of amusement, this book includes several pages on the art of Tasseomancy tea leaf reading and a detailed interpretation guide without a single photograph.


Overall, there are other short books on tea history, recipes, and brewing that I would recommend over this one.
Some great history

A relatively quick read, with decent recipes, but not offering much variety in terms of flavors.
Not sure what I was looking for from the book, but also know I didnt find it.
Enjoyed reading the history most,.A short but fairly comprehensive overview of tea, I learned some new information here, and sources were listed, which I think I would want to look into more if I wanted to take the health claims seriously.
This book is a great place to start, You'll need to do further research, but I found that this book was a good foundation to build from.
You learn a bit about the history, get a basic understanding of the different teas, and amazing recipes to try.
Some infued tea recipes, but also, lots of tea combos spices and teas, fruits and teas, etc.
This book has excellent information on the history of tea, it's therapeutic and medicinal effects, recipes and more! The pictures brought a whole new light to the tea that I drink every day because I never actually knew what tea bushes/trees looked like.
Just reading this book make me crave tea hardcore! This is definitely a book that will stay on my coffee/tea table for all guests to enjoy.
Maybe it's a translation problem, but this just did not ever get interesting to me,

I felt like I was reading a trade journal brochure, The facts weren't all that fascinating and the secrets weren't secret, The recipes didn't look very delicious, So, basically, the entire promise of the title didn't pan out for me, Tea is a plant with many beneficial qualities for ones health and spirit, In fact, the long life span of people in China has been associated with the populations regular intake of green tea.


Healthier than coffee and with a positively stimulating or relaxing effectaccording to the length of boiling timethe vitamins and flavonoids in this infusion are not only healthy, but also help in fighting free radicals.
Tea promotes creativity, harmony, and internal balance,
