Tea is all the rage and, according to trendspotter Faith Popcorn, part of a "feel better" experience consumers are now demanding in their purchases. In this stress-filled world, tea offers a simple antidote to just about everything, as author Theresa Cheung posits in her marvelous new book Tea Bliss. Illustrated throughout with four-color photographs, Tea Bliss is a warmhearted, comforting book that describes the arts of blending and brewing tea as well as the performance of ritual tea ceremonies. Chapters include "Tea for Two" on the positive effect tea has on friendship, and "Well-being" on how invaluable tea can be to an individual's health, as well as a glossary of terms and a veritable encyclopedia of every type of tea. Blending inspiration and sumptuous illustrations with fascinating facts about tea, Tea Bliss is an ideal and relaxing gift. As Cheung--a resident of the UK where everyone knows that tea is better than chicken soup as a cure for mind, body, and soul--points out, the boom in tea is as simple as one, two, three. 1. Tea helps people relax. 2. Tea makes people healthier. 3. Tea makes people happier.

I found this a very cleansing read. It can be repetitive and I can understand how others may not have enjoyed it, but I found it relaxing and... the right sort of new-age for me.

Plus, I'm too much of a tea drinker not to love it.

So I read approx. 6 pages of this book in which every other paragraph the author talks about how important it is to have the right balance of water and tea when making tea, as it is the same in life to have the right balance of things, yada, yada, yada. So the first time I thought, "Oh, how profound." And then when she said it two paragraphs later, I thought, "Yeah, okay. You said that already." And then when she said it three or four more times, I shrieked, "I got it the first time freaker!" and promptly returned the book to my library and complained to my director for making such a poor purchasing choice! Sorry.

A better tea reading choice would be "Tea with Jane Austen."

A very good tea reference book along with a quiet easy approach to life. Can't wait to try some of the teas mentioned.

Like the glossary!

This book is some what about tea and some what about life. At first, I thought, this book is kind of lame. But, the things she talks about life ended up being pretty dead on - like taking care of yourself, self esteem, self confidence, communication, etc. Then there is a lot of things about the history of tea, tea recipes, how to make tea properly... It is a mixed bag. But an enjoyable, light read.

Loved the information on tea. The correlation with life tips didn't seem to mix so well. Still had some great tips but would suggest that part of it more for those new to self improvement.

I love the half that she is talking about tea, but going into life topics wasn't smooth transitioning. I may have to retread to decide if this one's a keeper.

I picked up this book thinking as a person who likes tea it might be nice to learn a little more about it, especially in its benefits to the body. However, that isn't actually what the book is about (my fault for not looking it over more carefully). If you're looking for a book to learn about tea, this does offer some basic knowledge, but mostly the book is focused on mental health, which wasn't really my cup of tea (sorry too good to resist).
