Ah, tea. Why read about it? Drink it! But first... Most tea drinkers include tea as part of their daily lives. There are rituals in Japan and England. Culturally tea has been influential for centuries. In the modern world the rituals look completely different. Enjoy observations on everyday tea, from coffeeshops, offices, deck chairs, and even some cocktails some teatails. Here is an opportunity to thank and acknowledge the experts who select and blend tea, the cadre of workers who get it from the fields to us, and most important, the people who pick the leaves - all so we can enjoy a cup that may be cherished, but may also be consumed while we work, or chat, or sit and think. Kettle Pot Cup is a casual telling of everyday events, wrapped into a book, with book proceeds going to various charities that support the people who make it happen. Sit and sip while you read. No need to raise a little finger, unless that's your style.
