Fortnum & Mason: Time for Tea

A tea bible from the house that's been steeping tradition since 1707. Written by award-winning food writer Tom Parker Bowles, this is Fortnum & Mason's own guide to brewing the perfect cup: how to tell a single-estate Darjeeling from a smoky Lapsang, which tea suits a slow morning versus a proper pick-me-up, and everything in between. Equal parts history lesson and practical companion, it's a lovely gift for anyone just discovering loose leaf, or for the tea obsessive who already owns too many teapots.
