Summary:

Drawing from her experiences blogging about tea, interviewing vendors and authors, and talking to tea lovers, Munichiello, a freelance writer and tea lover who specializes in tea, parenting, and food allergies, collects 57 non-fiction essays by writers, poets, historians, journalists, filmmakers, enthusiasts, and those in the industry about tea in all areas of life, including classic writings by Thomas Lipton, Louisa May Alcott, and Rudyard Kipling. The essays explore what happens when tea allows people to slow down and observe life; childhood memories of tea moments with parents and grandparents; associations with love; stories of rituals and routines developed around tea in families and cultures; stories of those in the industry, such as vendors, shop owners, authors, and tea masters; and experiences around the world.
