Reviews
"I love the way she [Beatrice Hohenegger] writes. And, this may be a weird comparison that has occurred to me... (especially) for people who enjoyed reading the DaVinci Code, which was fast paced reading, short chapters, you just didn't want to put the book down because he (author of DaVinci Code) was a good story-teller. Beatrice is a very good story-teller! You just imagine history in your mind while you're reading Liquid Jade... and what drew me to ask her to join us on Wine & Dine Radio to talk about her story of tea, was the parallel she made between the history of Gin coming from Holland into the United Kingdom and the significance of tea in the UK at the same time, pre-Charles Dickens."-- Lynn Krielow Chamberlain, Host and producer of Wine & Dine Radio "According to Chinese lore, tea was discovered in 2732 B.C. when some leaves accidentally blew into a kettle of boiling water. Since then, it has grown into the world's most popular beverage, and has been the cause of wars and revolutions. In a series of vignettes, Beatrice Hohenegger relates the whole history of tea, from its role in the creation of Taoism thousands of years ago to debates over the ethics of organic and fair-trade products today. The book is well researched and written in a breezy, conversational style that makes it a perfect light read while riding the train to work or lounging in front of the fireplace."- Jason Horn, Cottage Living "This work at first appears to be a historical survey, but Hohenegger-who will curate a related traveling 2009 exhibition on tea history-offers more of a social history of tea (with plenty of miscellany thrown into the pot). While the author does explore the emergence of the humble tea leaf as a global force, she equally touches on the aesthetic appreciation of tea in ancient and modern cultures. Often a mix of myth and history, the text, broken into short chapters, leads from Asia to Europe, weighing tea's significance through the centuries. Overall, the author's light, humorous style is welcome and refreshing ."- Elizabeth Morris, Library Journal " Its [ Liquid Jade's ] real strength and appeal, you see, lies in its exhaustive and entertaining thoroughness. Frankly, I have to admit that I had no idea that there was so much to say about tea. Covering everything from the mythical birth of tea to the tea ceremony to the tea bag, and including everything in between by also focusing on tea's relationship to medicine, politics, culture, and religion, Liquid Jade is "a lively exploration of the world's most consumed beverage - in all its historical and cultural aspects." So, do yourself a favor and serve up a steaming cuppa for yourself, relax in a comfortable chair, and spend a few hours with this refreshing narrative history."- Bookloons To hear Beatrice Hohenegger discuss the fascinating history of tea live and unedited please visit one of the following links.
