Tea

There is a great deal of poetry and fine sentiment in a chest of tea. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson, Letters and Social Aims

I am looking for a book of tea. Anyone have recommendations? Something that is table book style and lovely to look at (hard cover) with plenty of information on all the types of teas and cultural information around them. I took a look on amazon and the list of tea books was terrifying so I am hoping someone can steer me in the right direction! Please let me know if you have a much loved tea book in mind!

Strange how a teapot can represent at the same time the comforts of solitude and the pleasures of company. ~Author Unknown

Another novelty is the tea-party, an extraordinary meal in that, being offered to persons that have already dined well, it supposes neither appetite nor thirst, and has no object but distraction, no basis but delicate enjoyment. ~Jean-Anthelme BrillatSavarin, The Physiology of Taste
