Looking Deeply into Tea Shelly & Bruce Richardson

"These pictures, poems and prayers are refreshment for the heart, pure refreshment for which we are thankful." - James Norwood Pratt, author of The Tea Lover's Treasury

From the cover flyleaf:

"...Shelley and Bruce Richardson believe that taking tea is a spiritual event.  It is an activity,...whereby the communicant connects with the land where the tea leaf was nurtured, and with those who labor to produce the world's favorite beverage.

Their mission is to show us the faces of the families who work in those faraway lands and the mystical gardens the call "Home".  bruce's mesmerizing photographs and Shelley's personal meditations inspire us to look deeply into our cups of tea in hope that we might pause, pray, and remember those who work diligently to bring us this ancient brew."
