An Invitation To A World Of Beauty, Grace, And Tranquility

Whether it is a formal Japanese tea ceremony, an English high tea, or simply a pot of tea and some cookies shared with friends, the act of drinking tea has long been a way for people to achieve a feeling of serenity. Now bestselling author Alexandra Stoddard explores the many ways in which a cup of tea can lift our spirits, soothe our souls and deepen our friendships.

Summary: Not great literature by any means, but so???
Comment: Any fan of Stoddard's will welcome this little book as yet another of her musings upon elements that can make everyday moments transcend the ordinary. If you're looking for a taut, informative book on tea, continue looking as you'll not find it in this text. However, for the person who simply wants to relax and share the author's enjoyment of the little touches that make life more pleasant, this book will entertain and delight. "Precious drivel"? Well, perhaps, although I find in the author's obvious enjoyment of cherished objects a reminder to look around my house at the lovely things I have with a fresh appreciation for them.

Summary: Alexandra Stoddard's Tea Celebrations: The Way to Serenity
Comment: What a rare treat this little volume is! I had to pace myself to prolong the enjoyment. Reading it was like having a wonderful conversation with a kindred soul over a great cup of tea. Alexandra shares inspiration and wonderful recipes as an added bonus along with her great conversation.

Customer Rating:

Summary: poor information, no research, and kind of egotistical
Comment: This book ends up being a personal account of Ms. stoddard's day-to-day life, which is really far from interesting. As far as information on tea, it is sadly lacking and even, on occasion, presents inaccurate information; a much better choice would be Jane Pettigrew's The Tea Companion. If you want a disorganized, "dreamy" little book about nothing, this is it. The question arises: who would compose a work that is so self-absorbed?

Summary: Learning to enjoy the simple pleasures of life
Comment: I havae read this book numerous times and have each time found new and interesting items missed the last time through.Ms.Stoddard presents tea celebration in such a way that one looks forward to being able to have friends over to enjoy. It is too amazing the way one looks forward to enjoying a cuppa alone. I have decided that when I enjoy tea by myself--as Ms.Stoddard encourages the preparation is also important-but when that cup is poured I can sit back, sip by sip, and watch the world go by.
