- For all you entrepreneurs out there looking to potentially start your own specialty tea brand. This is the place to get started not only in understanding tea theory, but in how to get growing, experimenting, and creating your very own special blend.

You may not be one of the four people above, but you know someone who fits the bill. This audiobook is a perfect gift for the adventurous grower or avid tea drinker.
What will you be guaranteed to learn in this book?
- What is and isn't tea, and the six major types of tea. We look at the various plants used in caffeinated and non-caffeinated herbal and fruit infusions.
- What makes quality tea beyond flavor and aroma? You will learn how to assess the six other ways of gauging a good-quality tea prior to purchase.
- Tired of the teas available to you? Take a trip with me across the seven continents as I delve into the teas, blends, and infusions from around the world to whet your appetite and expand your tea tasting experience.
- Next, we come to growing your own tea in your own back garden. Didn't think it was possible? I will walk you through the process step by step and show you how to grow from seed, cutting, seedling, or from a pre-purchased plant.
- Learn how to maintain and prune your plant to make it a fruitful and bountiful tea bush to provide you with as much tea as your needs require.
- I will then show you the methods for the home processing of the six major types of tea at home with no specialized equipment.
- Learn how to make decaffeinated tea at home with no special equipment or chemicals. The home method detailed will remove 83 percent of caffeine.
- Once you've processed your tea leaves, you will need to store them. After decaf tea, I talk briefly about storage.
- Protecting your plant is key. We will look at the major tea pests and diseases and countermeasures leaning heavily on organic and non-chemical-based deterrents where required.
- Discover how to do basic cultivation between your tea plants at home to grow tea seeds with characteristics from the mother and father plant.
- Finally, try the 40 food and drink recipes you can do at home using your own homegrown tea or any other tea in your cupboards. This will ensure your tea does not go to waste and will expand your use of tea even further.
Join me on this journey as I give you a kickstart into the world of tea growing and cultivation.

Many parents dread talking to their kids about money in fear of opening pandora’s box. But firstly, that box is probably already open; you will be surprised at what kids soak up from their friends, what they see on TV and on social media, and what they hear you talking about at home. And secondly, if it isn’t already, it likely will be soon, and this will be out of your control. It may be better if we actually open this box from time to time anyway. Not talking to your kids about money can actually make them think that money is something to fear.
