Review: A Must Have - HardCover book for you’re library - A work associate of mine is related to one of the authors and has given me some tea suggestions; as she is an expert in the field. I’ve delved into the world of tea with both feet and it’s my new habit; my new cup of tea so to speak. It’s a healthy fun way to get your water intake. I start the day with a piece of Ceylon Cinnamon at the bottom of the cup and start of with a ginger or spicy orange cinnamon, next cup is green tea, then chamomile and several more cups of decaf herbal tea of varying flavors through the day. This book ? Go and order one for yourself right now. It’s an education - stunning pictures - I will visit just from what I learned in the book .. but it … now!
Review: A must read for tea-lovers, and travelers visiting picturesque tea gardens in the Himalayas, Nilgiris and Western Ghat in India - The book "Chai: The Experience of Indian Tea", written by Rekha Sarin and Rajan Kapoor, tells an intrinsic story of Indian tea cultivation since the nineteenth century colonial India. The tea gardens got flourished not only in the eastern Himalayas but also other parts of the country, including the Nilgiris, Western Ghat and Kangra Valley. Out of them, Darjeeling Tea - the first ever recognized Geographical Indication of goods (GI) in India, is the finest of all in terms of its superior aroma, flavor and taste. This book presents the fascinating stories of natural grandeur of tea gardens and tea estates across the country in a lucid way to non-specialist readers. This book is systematically organized with four sections on diverse range of issues, namely, (i) Chai the Indian Way, (ii) Into the Heartlands of Tea, (iii) From the Leaf to the Sip, and (iv) Tea the Universal Brew. This book contains seventeen chapters covering history of the tea industry development in places such as Assam, Darjeeling, South India, the Himalayas, and North-East region. Authors also depict picturesque natural grandeur of floras and faunas in the tea estates. In the last chapter author describes fifteen recipes with tea, that include yummy desserts and mocktails. This book is produced in a photo-documentation style to grasp basic understandings on the tea gardens and planters. This book also touches upon tea tourism and eco-tourism that help in economic development of lives of planters and laborers. This book is a must read for tea-lovers, and travelers visiting picturesque tea gardens in the Himalayas, Nilgiris, Western Ghat and other places in India.
