Tea & Taste: The Visual Language of Tea: The Visual Language of Tea

Good book

"Tea & Taste- The Visual Language Of Tea", by Tania M. Buckrell Pos is an amazing book to add to your collection! The author gives us an interesting history of tea, and shows how it helped to shape British society. This informative and well-written book also includes many beautiful color images. I would highly recommend "Tea & Taste- The Visual Language Of Tea".

For some years now, I'm putting together a library entirely dedicated to tea, in all its aspects: from the history of its spread to the social and economic implications, from etiquette to recipes, passing, of course, for in-depth study of the furnishings that since the beginning, were the protagonists and engines of the spread of the precious Chinese drink.This magnificent work of Tania Buckerell Pos, is a gallery of the highest artistic expressions related to tea: from silverware to caddies, from cabinet making to painting, from porcelain to literature. Large format pages, showing hundreds of color images, pleasant to browse just to rub your eyes.The text accompanying the images in a comprehensive way, telling the adventurous history of tea in detail and not boring.In the end, you get the feeling of having done a luxury cruise and remains the regret of having perhaps a little lost the value of beauty, in our hectic, modern lives, where we are content with a mug and a tea bags of dubious quality...Recommended
