Robert and Mary Lou Heiss’ new book, The Tea Enthusiast’s Handbook: A Guide to the World’s Best Teas, is due to be released on March 30. I’ve been looking forward to this for quite a while ? Mary Lou told us a bit about it last year when I interviewed her.
15 Gift Ideas for Tea Lovers
It’s the silly season, as they say. That time of year where you burn cash like it’s firewood. As my token gesture of seasonal anticipation, I have put together a list of gift ideas for tea lovers.

Interview with Mary Lou Heiss, author of "The Story of Tea"
Today, I’m really pleased to publish an interview with Mary Lou Heiss. I have a small but growing collection of books about tea, and The Story of Tea: A Cultural History and Drinking Guide, which Mary Lou penned with her husband Bob, is by far the most comprehensive resource on the subject. The Story of Tea takes an in-depth look at the world of tea, covering the various types of tea, major tea producing countries and regions, tea culture and its history – among other things. Seriously, if there’s one book about tea you should have, it’s this one.
I was excited to have the opportunity to ask Mary Lou a few questions about her personal tea journey, what led her to write The Story of Tea and how she sees the economic crisis affecting the tea industry.
