The tea-party was as much a staple of social life in ancient China as in the nineteenth-century drawing-rooms of Europe, and bricks of tea transported perilously by yak caravan were as central to life in the Tibetan monastery as the gently simmering samovar was to the life of imperial Russia. This illustrated book tells the story of tea around the world, and celebrates its contribution, past and present, to civilized existence."--BOOK JACKET.
