If you really want to understand what tea is as a plant and as a drink, then there is no publication more seriously thought out, historically accurate and lovingly written than William Pokhlebkin's Tea. This applies, however, to all his books, in which he described numerous processes in cooking with the pedantry of a historian and the obsession of a cook. And this history of tea is also connected with the origin of tea growing in Soviet times in our country, which is of interest to all curious historical context. In addition, in this book we have included an article "From the history of the cuisine of Russia and Russia", which will expand your knowledge not only about cooking, but also its author himself.
