My book came in the mail about three days ago, I opened it and started reading just a few paragraphs. Soon I looked up at the clock and found I had plowed through the entire book in a little under three hours. Amazing and fascinating tale of the history of teas, their productions and uses. As well as several dozen intriguing recipes! I will continue to buy the edible series, out of sheer interest and fascination about the products we take for granted in our supermarket shelves.
I bought a used book and it came in a timely manner, also at a great price and in great condition, no less!

Tea A Global History Edible Helen Saberi 9781861897763 Books Reviews

This author writes about the history of tea and she does it in a way that is interesting. It is a short volume and it hits the highlights very well. There are illustrations throughout the text which add to the reader's enjoyment. The chapters cover the origin of tea and each chapter includes another country as tea spread around the world.

There is a section of tea recipes, and recipes for other food items like green-tea ice cream, and lemon and rose tea jelly. There is a glossary and a list of resources. This was not heavy reading, it goes fairly quickly and is informative. -- Valerie Lull, Author, Ten Healthy Teas
his book is very good at presenting the production of tea and tea culture around the world. In China, Japan, Indonesia and India there is information about the growing and gardens. The chapter on Caravans and Mediterranean Shores” is perhaps unique in talking about the “Tea-Horse Road”, the Silk Road, and the Siberian Routes that were all avenues of tea. My own native St. Louis is presented as the first to popularize ice tea during the 1904 World’s Fair. My parents met at a tea dance in college, but this very different than combination with Tango dancing in 1913 to create a tea dance called The Dansant
The chapter “Tea Comes to the West”, writes of the route of Tea into Europe and America. So the reader is introduced to the East India Company, and the Race for clipper ships. She does not overlook that nastiness in the Boston harbor.
The book is wonderfully illustrated in color, some favorites included an 1820 engraving “Method of gathering Tea my means of Monkeys”, “Men laden with tea bricks for Tibet”, and a “1910 caricature of American suffragettes having a tea party in jail”.
Readers of this might also enjoy “A Social History of Tea” by Pettigrew and Richardson.
Readable and a very good, scholarly, introduction to the subject of tea.
