'No matter where you are in the world, you are at home when tea is served.' -- Earlene Grey

Tea has its very own significance in every consumer's life. However, above all, tea represents enjoyment, the ritual of preparation and the appreciation of the moment. In this sense, tea creates hospitality and peace, tea brings people together to talk and to make time for each other. Tea needs time, tea spends time.

In this pioneering book featuring hospitality embraced by tea culture, you will read of fascinating tea ceremonies, impressive tea china and comfortable tea houses as well as different national and regional tea-related habits in European countries.

Nearly 50 contributions provide unique insights -- Samowars in the East, Dresmer blue porcelain in Germany, tulip glasses in Turkey and around, silver tea pots in Great Britain and, many more. The first tea plantations in Portugal or Georgia are discussed, as well as tea in arts, tea events, tea flavoured signature products, tea pairing and, impulses for entrepreneurship and education.

Tea Cultures of Europe is written for tea lovers, educators and students, as well as industry practitioners (tea sommeliers, tea masters) and entrepreneurs.

Prof. Dr. Hartwig Bohne, Professor of International Hotel Management with more than 25 years of working experience in hospitality, is focused on the European Tea Culture, founder of the 'European Tea Culture Research Circle' and chair of the 'Working Group of International Tea Tourism'.
