ReviewsKen Macbeth "Lahikmajoe Drinks Tea" "The book is called The World's Special Tea, and it's exactly what I'd want to have had in order to introduce Amelia to tea. It tells the history of tea from it's earliest Chinese origins through Japan and on to Europe. There's a brief explanation of the Boston Tea Party, as well as the English replanting of Chinese tea seeds in India. " "The book itself? The World's Special Tea? I can definitely recommend it. Happily." http://lahikmajoedrinkstea.blogspot.com/2011/11/worlds-special-tea.html
