Book excerpt: A collection from one of a handful of tea poets in the world, perpetuating the ancient Chinese and Japanese tradition of writing poetry about the multi-faceted aspects of tea 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.
