The Book of Green Tea begins with a sampling of the poetry, history, and lore green tea has inspired from its origins in China and Japan, to its discovery in India and Sri Lanka, and current popularity in the West. Moving from the spiritual to the practical, author Diana Rosen then offers an overview of how and where green tea is grown and the various techniques used to process it. Subsequent chapters reveal the many ways you can use green tea to enhance your life. Directions for buying, storing, and brewing green tea are included, as well as both traditional and contemporary serving methods. Wellness and Health and Beauty chapters include health-giving recipes for both internal and external use, from breath fresheners, to soaps, to aromatherapy. Finally, you will learn how to use green tea as an ingredient, garnish, or marinade in approximately 30 recipes for drinks, desserts, main courses, and salads. A glossary, recommended reading, and a list of tea resources is also included.
