About this title

About the Author:

Jane Pettigrew's professional interest in tea started when she opened the Tea–Time tea–shop in South London in 1983. Since then she has written four books about tea. She also writes on tea and tea–related affairs for a variety of international magazines, is consultant to the UK Tea Club, and works closely with hotels to improve their afternoon tea service. She lives in London, England. MARIAGE FRÈRES are the oldest French tea house, established in Paris in 1854. They have developed the French art of tea, opened a tea museum in Paris and published several books on tea. They were the inspiration for the choice of some of the teas and tea descriptions included in this book because of their understanding, expertise, and knowledge of the world's finest teas.
