The recession has spawned two quiet revivals—drinking loose leaf tea and reading poetry. Put the two together and we have "poetea." A prominent tea poet serves up a heady brew in this volume celebrating different teas and "tea people." Thirty-seven different teas are described as characters in these poems, revealing their unique personalities in an accessible and entertaining way. Whether the reader is a novice new to poetry and "posh tea," or an expert leaf tea lover, this book will simultaneously enlighten and delight.
