Dictionnaire Amoureux du Thé

This book is written in French.

From Peru to the Azores, from Japan to the most remote regions of China, via Malawi and Nepal, Ingrid Astier and François-Xavier Delmas follow the tea trail. From spicy Indian chai to the rarest vintages, they traverse continents and seasons, joyfully giving voice to landscapes, practices and processes.

An ode to discovery and sharing, a celebration of noble bitterness and curiosity, this book explores the richness of Camellia sinensis. Tea escapes the teapot and gives voice to mists and vapours, but also to chefs, perfumers, ceramicists and artists.

A dictionary for walkers and dreamers, experts and enthusiasts. A bedside and hiking companion, unclassifiable and free — like tea.
