BOURZAT, Catherine: Voyages aux sources du thé. Paris, éd. du Chêne, 2006, ORIGINAL EDITION, large in-4, black paper boards, color photo jacket, 520 pp, many color and black photos by Laurence Mouton, Contents, black maps, thematic index. From the Indian Ocean to the China Sea, from the Himalayan foothills to the slopes of Fujiyama, from family factories to high-tech factories, Catherine Bourzat and Laurence Mouton set out into the gardens of Asia to examine the destiny of the tea plant. Although tea is the second most consumed beverage after water, it is still a little-known product. For three years, our two explorers have travelled thousands of kilometers and investigated to reach the impossible conclusion that the capricious plant has surprises in store for its gardeners, that its manufacture takes turns, and that its flavors are made of alchemy. But the logs they brought back to us are full of anecdotes, sidewalk finds, market herbaria, unusual recipes, and the words of amateurs and experts who help us better understand the fascinating world of tea, through the pitfalls and the wonders, the dead ends and the twists and turns that are the lot of all great journeys. Thus was born "Voyages aux sources du thé", a formidable reference on tea. Rare. Nice copy.
