Whether it's a delicate green tea or a bracing Assam black, a cup of tea is a complex brew of art and industry, tradition and revolution, East and West. In this sweeping tour through the world of tea, two veteran tea traders chronicle tea's influence across the globe and provide a complete reference for choosing, drinking, and enjoying this beverage. The Story of Tea begins with a journey along the tea trail, from the lush forests of China, where tea cultivation first flourished, to the Buddhist temples of Japan, to the vast tea gardens of India, and beyond.

This book is excellent! It has a ton of info that is intelligently organized and is very much worth reading. That said, as an audiobook it falls short. I found myself frequently confused by what seemed like non sequiturs until I realized that the book was written like a coffee table book or a text book, with little blurbs or pages scattered through the text to call out something tangentially related to the main text. The way this is handled by the reader is to finish a paragraph in the middle of the main text, read the blurb, which is anywhere from a short column to a full page of text, then return right back to the main text where she left off. This leads to stories being interrupted, without notice, and then returned to in a very jarring fashion. It makes it very easy to get lost. I bought the physical book and am reading along with the audiobook and I enjoy it much much more. YOU MUST BUY THE PHYSICAL BOOK TO FOLLOW AND ENJOY THIS AUDIOBOOK. If I was giving feedback to the producer of this audiobook I would tell them to finish the section of main text they are reading (like finish the whole text under a section header) before introducing a blurb. Otherwise the audiobook is unfollowable.
