Hello, I'm new to tea chat. I'm in the starting phase of opening up a tea house. I was wondering if anyone could recommend good books to read up on tea preparation and culture.
Thank you.

Re: Tea books for the novice
I learned a lot from The Story of Tea, and the Harney & Sons Guide to Tea. They both helped me get up the confidence to keep stretching outside of my two or three tea comfort zone.
Particularly useful was the Harney's suggestion to taste groups of related teas at the same time, to really learn about the differences as well as the similarities.
