READ THIS: The Little Black Book of Tea Published by The Peter Pauper Press

What's hot? It's tea, in all its delicious and dizzying varieties! Steep yourself in this Little Black Book of Tea: The Essential Guide to All Things Tea, offering a brisk, full-bodied look at tea varieties and grades, teas of the world, and brewing basics, with recipes for tea drinks and accompaniments. An attractive gift book for that tea aficionado in your life!

144 pages; 4-1/4" wide x 5-3/4" high; concealed wire-o binding. Book lies flat for ease of use and includes an elastic band place holder. With a clink of the tea cups in cheers, the panel states:

I've always enjoyed the Little Black Book series. When I saw The Little Black Book of Tea, I was thrilled. I love tea, especially in the evening, and love to try it in different ways. As I was reading, I came across the "tea traditions" that begins on page 10. I loved reading about how other countries came to have their traditions. I found the "Tea in Russia" section on pages 14-15 most interesting. I also found the section about different grades of tea helpful. I think knowing there are different grades of one particular tea will help in choosing the right tea for your own tastes. I also loved the entire recipe section. It gave some helpful hints on how we can use tea for more than just drinking. This is the perfect book for tea lovers!

For those of us whose acquaintance with tea is more than the occasional cup of Lipton black tea teabag, this book is a great way to read up on the history and facts behind this beverage that's second in popularity only to water for the majority of people in this world. For myself, tea is almost a daily indulgence, and perhaps not just an indulgence but it's a must for me to wind up, as well as unwind and get through the day. This book covers the various varieties of teas out there, what it means to each culture, the various tea grades and how to brew the perfect cup of each of these major varieties. For those of us who can't get enough of their tea by just sipping it, there are numerous recipes in the back of the book, sweet and savory, that incorporate tea. One that I'll put to use quite soon: classic green tea ice cream!

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
