Very Informative!
One of the best tea guide that you would ever have. I love how it is so British, kind of fancy to listen to. I really like how the content went. Its not to boring to listen to, there's a calming feeling to it. I am glad that I am into teas and this book will surely help me soon as I have been adding herbs and plants to add in my garden. Great content overall!

I love tea but didn't know I could grow it
I had no idea that I could grow my own tea at home. I live in England...lots of tea drinkers here, although for some reason they like milk in their tea. I grew up in the Southern US, so I grew up drinking Iced Tea and it has followed me throughout my life. Once I found a suitably strong enough tea here to use to make iced tea, I was able to continue my way of life. I have lived around the world and enjoyed different blends of tea, but never thought about growing it at home. I will have to try it now and see if I can get my own custom blend that works well hot or cold! A great resource for all the tea drinkers and gardeners.

Spilling the tea here…
I wouldn’t trade this book for all the tea in China! Absolutely loved it! OK, OK… I may be a little bit biased given that I’m English and I LOVE tea (Have a good 5 or 6 cups a day!). But tea passion aside, the book is objectively very entertaining, informative, and it’s really well narrated too. Well deserved 5 stars!

Interesting and useful
very interesting to hear of the history of tea and begin to think of how one might begin to grow my own. One thinks many connoisseur exist, wine, whisky, coffee etc and now tea, which I may call myself. Though I don't drink a great deal of tea myself this book ought to help me with the people around me who can't seem to get enough of the stuff. Narrators voice is very relaxing, but still engaging.
