Summary: A good read
Comment: I purchased this book in hope of being supplied with a good overview of what a "real" afternoon tea is rather than relying on my own assumptions. I am very satisfied. It was very easy to read, gave me info on past and present, and it was delightful to learn the etiquette side of taking tea. I also loved all the quotes throughout the book.

Summary: Tea and Etiquette by Johnson
Comment: This is a wonderful little book. If you enjoy "all things tea" then this is the book for you. Easily read, with details about proper etiquette for every type of social and business situation. It truly would be a nicer world if people (including children) were more often taught these things. Mrs. Johnson intersperses the chapters with interesting personal stories and recipes. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Great For A Hostess
Comment: I bought this book because I was never a tea drinker, but always felt left out as the popularity of now drinking tea started. I knew nothing about different types, how to serve it, what to serve with it, and just the simple things everyone knows. This book helped me with all of that and now I even like tea. After a few hours of reading, I know more about tea etiquette than anyone I know.

Summary: Finally a book with everything...
Comment: I am starting a small catering business doing tea parties! This book is perfect! It has everything you always wanted to know about preparing, enjoying and serving tea. From the different types of tea from Cream Tea to High Tea and what to do with the tea bag after you've taken it out of your tea cup. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to serve and to enjoy a proper afternoon of tea. Thank you for being so thorough.
