Perhaps that is because it is a uniquely adaptable drink, consumed in many different varieties and ways by cultures across the globe and in many different settings, from the intricate traditions of the Japanese tea ceremony to the elegant tea-rooms of Britain to iced tea drunk on the verandas of the American Deep South. In Tea food historian Helen Saberi explores this rich and fascinating history. Saberi looks at the economic and social uses of tea, such as its use as a currency during the Tang dynasty; its role in American independence at the Boston Tea Party; afternoon tea drunk by the British in India; and the 1913 creation of a tea dance or The? Dansant that combined tea with tango. Saberi also explores where and how tea is grown around the world and how customs and traditions surrounding the beverage have evolved from its legendary origins to its present-day popularity. Featuring vivid images as well as recipes from around the world, Tea is a refreshing and stimulating treat. 410 0$aEdible . 606 $aFood$xHistory 606 $aTea 615 0$aFood$xHistory 615 0$aTea. 676 $a641.3372 700 $aSaberi$b Helen$01707953 801 0$bUkLoBP 801 1$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827330703321 996 $aTea$94096577 997 $aUNINA
