The True History of Tea by Victor H. Mair, Erling Hoh
4.0
The upstarts west of the Atlantic dump a bunch of lovely tea into the sea. I mean really!
Seriously, great book that is factual and scholarly in tone but manages to be interesting and tell the history of the tea plant in an orderly and entertaining way (organized by region, roughly chronologically as the popularity of tea spread). As a bonus, I now know a lot more about ancient Chinese history.
