Reviews for Growing Your Own Tea Garden: Plants and Plans for Growing and Harvesting Traditional and Herbal Teas

What a fantastic resource! Specific information on a range of plants to grow for using in tea, along with instructions on how to harvest and prepare the plants and many different recipes. Really excited to try some of these.--Beth Borman, Little Free Library, Englew Growing Your Own Tea Garden by Jodi Helmer is fabulous. -The Daily Meal With the help of this book, most anyone can plan a successful tea garden, then grow and create their own customized tea blends. Start now, and you can have a plenty ready in time for the next gift-giving season that will be here before we know it. --WFA Eats As someone who can't live without her tea, I couldn't wait to open this book when it arrived. I was truly blown away by all the wonderful knowledge and how many fruits, and parts of fruit plants could be used to create various kinds of tea. This is one of the first times I have ever seen a book approach making tea in a fun, information, and easy to follow way. Probably the most challenging section is learning about the most common teas - black, white, green, and oolong - and what you need to know before you start growing. Overall though, after finishing Growing Your Own Tea Garden: The Guide to Growing and Harvesting Flavorful Teas in Your Backyard, I recommend that every tea lover and gardener go out and buy this book! -Budget Earth Consumer Blog ...a guide for steeping the perfect cup of tea from your harvest. --Booklist
