Tea Journey

“Tea Journey” unravels the captivating story of tea, from its ancient Chinese origins to its modern-day global presence. More than just a beverage, tea has profoundly shaped trade routes, social customs, and even political landscapes across continents. This book highlights how Camellia sinensis, the tea plant, became deeply intertwined with various societies, influencing cultural exchange and globalization.

Beginning with the traditions and cultivation practices of tea in ancient China, the narrative progresses to its adoption and transformation within British culture, notably the rise of afternoon tea. The book then explores its global spread, examining regional variations and cultural adaptations in countries like Japan, India, and the United States, including the impact of colonization and trade.

“Tea Journey” uniquely blends historical analysis with culinary exploration, offering insights into tea preparation methods and regional flavors, appealing to both history enthusiasts and culinary aficionados.
