It can be black, green, yellow, or red; it can come from China, Scotland, or Colombia... We’ve all drunk it before, but what do we really know about tea?

This is what Lydia Gautier, an agricultural engineer and tea expert, invites you to discover. Here, she presents 119 teas from around the world, ranging from the great classics to lesser-known varieties that have truly captured her heart. Each tea is presented as a portrait, enhanced by a minimalist photograph and accompanied by specific brewing and serving recommendations that will allow you to appreciate all its subtleties.
