This title is strictly for the academically inclined or the deeply curious historian. It is not a cookbook, nor does it offer recipes or casual reading fare. However, the content is clearly historical analysis rather than culinary instruction. Those seeking practical tea brewing advice will be disappointed. It suits readers who enjoy dense economic theory applied to cultural artifacts. The tone is scholarly and analytical. It lacks the narrative flair of trade books but offers rigorous insight. Do not buy this for the kitchen; buy it for the study if you tolerate heavy academic prose.
