Liquid Jade
“Traveling from East to West over thousands of years, tea has played a variety of roles on the world scene — in medicine, politics, the arts, culture, and religion. Behind this most serene of beverages, idolized by poets and revered in spiritual practices, lie stories of treachery, violence, smuggling, drug trading, international espionage, slavery, and revolution.”
In Liquid Jade, recently published by St. Martin’s Press, Beatrice Hohenegger explores the story of tea from east to west.
