The Stories We Tell: Studies in the Culture, History, and Science of Tea, addresses global concerns and approaches to tea studies. The geographical global is examined in chapters on the history and culture of tea in East Asia (China and Japan), Europe (France and England), Soviet Georgia, and the US (the US generally and more locally in California). The disciplinary global is considered through studies in agricultural economics, art history, biology, cultural history, ethnobotany, gender studies, health sciences, political history and nation-forming. The temporal global is explained through chapters that range in topic from the eleventh century up to today. Taken as a whole, the book aims to provide a well-rounded and well-grounded exploration of tea studies.
