The Afternoon Tea Book

By Michael Smith, Michael R. P. Bartlett
John Wiley & Sons - 1989

Whats not to love about this book? it goes into the history of tea and tea parties, with information about the different types of tea and the impliments used. I really felt like i was learning something, and the it tops it off with lots of scrummy looking recipes. My edition is printed throughout with green ink wich for some reason makes me very happy. This book is much more inclusive than more modern books on the subject, and the only thing that may put you off is the fact that it deals in ounces.
