Das grosse Teebuch

Rainer Schmidt has acquired extensive knowledge about tea through his travels to tea-growing regions, as well as through trading, storing, and blending in the Speicherstadt. For the first time, over 150 tea varieties from around the world are explained and illustrated in such detail, with even individual plantations and their sizes specified. The growing regions are accompanied by highly accurate maps, and for each region, the harvest times are presented in clear graphics. Many countries have maintained centuries-old tea traditions and have even developed their own tea ceremonies. Furthermore, the correct purchase of tea, its storage, and the optimal preparation of all varieties are thoroughly described with numerous images. A comprehensive glossary explains all the terms related to the world of tea. Until 2006, he was established as a tea importer in the Speicherstadt, where he stored and traded tea.
