tea dictionary
James Norwood Pratt is one of the world's leading authorities on tea and tea lore.
The newly completed and now definitive Tea Dictionary includes all principal kinds of tea grown in the world, with a timeline of tea history, maps, and striking photography.
With the collaboration of Devan Shah and Ravi Sutodiya, publishers, and Chen Zongmao, China’s foremost tea authority, James Norwood Pratt has demystified trade terminology for tea cultivation, manufacture, tasting, trading, marketing, and classification, with an abundance of botany, business, history, folklore, and “... almost all the gardens and place names we think worth listing.” It is the first work in English to include Chinese characters whenever possible and is intended to be an indispensable tool for tea lovers of every description.
