As the danger increases, so do their feelings for each other. But, in the end, will it be enough?

Sharing the latest research, they discuss tea's health benefits and developments in organic production and fair trade practices.

Vividly illustrated throughout, The Story of Tea is an engrossing tribute to the illustrious, invigorating, and elusive leaf that has sustained and inspired people for more than two thousand years.
