Come and meet self-confessed tea-addict, Welsh travel writer, journalist and adventurer Amy Aed for the launch of her book: Leaf By Leaf.Most books about tea focus on history, brewing, culture, or science, but Leaf by Leaf takes the scenic route, exploring them all.
From misty Taiwanese mountains to serene Japanese tearooms, it teaches the art of brewing, tasting, and appreciating tea for beginners and lifelong enthusiasts alike.
At its heart, the book is about relationships: leaf and land, maker and drinker, ritual and everyday life. Tea is presented as a living system shaped by ecology, history, culture, and human care.
Readers will discover how tea is grown, made, and brewed; learn tasting practices and tea meals that sharpen the senses; and explore the subtle differences between high- and low-altitude leaves.
Deeper layers include fermentation chemistry, soil life, ethical farming, and the rich history and spiritual traditions of tea, from Lu Yu to Gong Fu Cha.
Accessible, practical, and immersive, Leaf by Leaf is a complete guide for anyone who wants to understand, enjoy, and savour tea fully.
A free event.
