The second-most consumed beverage in the world is tea. That’s right, tea! Only water is consumed more, yet you probably don’t know a lot about this amazing beverage. For most of us, tea is something that we order at a restaurant, grab in a can or bottle, drink at a fancy hotel, or maybe make at home for ourselves and friends.

However, in some cultures, tea is a livelihood and has been an integral part of daily life for hundreds of years. Tea is as nuanced as wine — if not more so — due to leaf variety, production methods, brewing, and serving styles. The world of tea can be overwhelming with talk about which flush a tea is, or whether it is high-grown or low-grown, or even whether it is a green, black, white, oolong, or other type of tea. Every day, new varieties of the tea plant are cultivated and new production methods are developed, but, in the end, it all starts with one leaf from one plant — the Camellia sinensis.

Some “tea snobs” will judge your tea selection, brewing methodologies, whether you add milk or sugar, and even your water source and type of cup you are using — but tea needn’t be so intimidating. It is actually as simple as finding what you like the most and making it the way you prefer it. Tea For Dummies covers all things tea — from garden to cup. Tea has been the center of trade, culture, and even politics for centuries and is still evolving to fit into our ever-changing world. We explore many of these aspects.
