James Norwood Pratt - Sunday, November 6th

James Norwood Pratt with John Harney


Sunday, November 6th

1-3pm


James Norwood Pratt was one of the seminal people in the Tea Revolution back in the 1980s. Another one was our founder John Harney. So we are mixing these two gents together and expect great results.


John Harney will join James Norwood Pratt in the tasting room in

Millerton, NY to drink and discuss the world of tea. Since a they are both authors, they will be signing books as well.






James Norwood Pratt's Tea Dictionary is a wealth of information about all principal types of tea grown in the world, with a timeline of tea history and maps of tea-growing areas.


The New Tea Lover's Treasury is "... probably the best single book on tea available on the market. It is a slim volume that instructs both novice and connoisseur alike. Written in an entertaining, discussive style with enough common sense knowledge and practicality to be a beginner's guide, it is filled with anecdotes and history enough to make a connoisseur proud. Norwood Pratt's New Treasury is probably the only book on tea you need, if you want only one." -Darrell Corti, A Tea Book for Your Library, in Corti Bros. Catalog (Winter 2001)
