Infos

Green tea has long been celebrated in China for its soothing and healing qualities. One myth tells of a Chinese emperor from 5,000 years ago who discovered that drinking hot water with the green tea leaf in it relieved his toothache. Modern scientific research has supported the emperor's faith and now green tea is thought to give relief for numerous ailments, from high blood pressure and the adverse effects of aging to promoting positive energy and inducing a sense of calm in your life. It has even been found to have anti-carcinogenic properties and could help in the prevention of cancer. From health tips to recipe suggestions, this delightful book pays homage to the life-giving power of green tea. With information on its many healing properties, meditations on finding tranquillity in your life, advice on choosing the right green tea for you, and extracts and quotations from Chinese gurus and philosophers, At the Altar of Green Tea offers good health and good spirits in a cup. The touching and warmhearted text combined with gorgeous artwork by renowned illustrator Danny Norman combine to make this a truly enchanting book.
