Infused

Adventures in Tea

By: Henrietta Lovell

Narrated by: Henrietta Lovell

Henrietta Lovell is on a mission to revolutionize the way we drink tea by replacing industrially produced teabags with the highest quality tea leaves. Her quest has seen her travel to the Shire Highlands of Malawi, across the foothills of the Himalayas, and to hidden gardens in the Wuyi-Shan to source the world's most extraordinary teas.

Infused invites us to discover these remarkable places, introducing us to the individual growers and household-name chefs Lovell has met along the way - and reveals the true pleasures of tea. The result is a delicious infusion of travel writing, memoir, and recipes, all written with Lovell's unique charm and wit.

Wonderful!

It sounds hyperbolic, but this is one of the best things I have listened to in years. I am not sure if it is because I love tea, or because I fell in love with the author/reader, but this to tea is what Kermit Lynch’s Adventures on the Wine Route is to wine: essential if you are fond of either.

As delightful as a cup of tea!

This book was a mesmerizing journey through a brave woman’s life and her passion to bring quality to the world. I’ve never finished an audiobook that I wanted to start again immediately as much as this one, and I’m an English literature scholar!

The romance of tea

The story of Henrietta 's tea travels and adventures made me long to see the places, smell the smells and taste the beautiful teas. I fell in love with tea again and my desire to travel to China and Japan to enjoy the ancient tea culture. I really enjoyed listen to this book and will defentily listen to it again and again. Thank you.

Absolutely wonderful!!! A must read/ listen

I am bit of a tea nerd and this book narrated beautifully by Henrietta made me look beyond the leaves into the people actually making them and the stories related. It also got me out of the world of Chinese tea and into Malawi, Nepal, Meghalaya( where I have already contacted for the famous Cloud tea), Sikkim, Ceylon and more. Though China tea culture always fascinates me.
I think I am going to be listening to the same book at least twice more. 🙏🙏🙏

The real thing

This is a book about the passion for real tea, finding it, preparing it, and enjoying it. It is written with wisdom and nuance. A gem.
