I have a new book out! A book all about tea!
A book all about tea- Black Tea, Oolong Tea, Pu-erh Tea, Green Tea,
White Tea, Yellow Tea, and Purple Tea. And those other drinks people call
“tea” (that do not have the Camellia Senesis plant) - Herbal Tea, Tisane Tea, Honeybush,
Rooibos Tea, and Mate Tea. Ever wonder what the difference is between tea in
China and tea in India? What is Darjeeling and what is Orange Pekoe? What
is the difference between High Tea, Afternoon Tea, Royal Tea, and Cream
Tea? What is the difference between a cup plate and a saucer? Find
out these definitions and many more. All while journaling about your tea along
the way. There are over 140 tea related definitions and 19 tea customs in
this book along with fun color photos. Enjoy the ABCs of Tea. This book is
meant to be a fun and easy way to learn about tea.
I have been working on this for a few years and it became a reality this year.
If you do get a book, I would love for you to review it on Amazon. Even if you don't like it, I will take the feedback and learn from it.
The research of this book has been years and years in the making. Mission trips to Africa, Malaysia, Spain, France, Thailand, and the Dominican Republic drinking their teas and experiencing their customs. Trips and vacations to Europe and around the US, as well as drinking tea for over 45 years. I have been enjoying reading books, magazines, watching YouTube videos, making, and sharing tea with others. The information in this book is known to be true to the best of my ability.
I got my first draft and I was happy that someone on Facebook let me know that I should not have an apostrophe after the C...hahaha.
There was lots of editing that went on behind the scenes. I also had three people review it for me. And still I was adding and removing things. I wanted 100 definitions, I ended up with over 140...and I still keep thinking of words to add. I knew I just needed to stop and be happy with what I had, and I am very happy with what I have.
Orange Pekoe loved to be around while I was working on my book. He especially loved when I worked on the computer. He thought those computer keys were really fun to push...maybe I should blame any typos on him.
I tried to put multiple photos on each page to help explain a definition.
I also put my friends pottery through out the book. Be on the look out for Rudy Whistle Pottery. Reach out to her if you are interested in her pieces.

I am BEYOND excited that I will be doing a book signing at Ohio Tea Co. in Canton. This is one of my favorite tea places, if not my favorite. The day and time will be coming at a later date.
I hope you enjoy this book. I tried to make it fun and easy to read. There are photos to enjoy and a place to journal about your own tea experiences.
20% of all profits from this book
will be given to the Christian and Missionary Alliance and the cafe/tea
ministries they have around the world.

There is also a hard book edition available as well....

Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all the peoples!
