In Tea: A Global History, Helen Saberi explores the rich and fascinating history of tea. She looks at the economic and social uses of tea, which was used as currency during the Tang Dynasty, and combined with Tango dancing in 1913 to create a tea dance called The Dansant. Tea also explores how customs and traditions surrounding the beverage have evolved throughout time, as well as where and how tea is grown around the world. Featuring vivid images and recipes for both drinking tea and using it as a flavouring, Tea will engage both the senses and the mind.
