I enjoyed this book, but I don't know if I'll be using as much as I thought I would. I don't have most of the herbs on hand at any given moment. Some of them would be difficult to find in a pinch. The basic ones I have, but some of the uncommon ones are things that I've never even had in my house.

I never knew TEA could be anything steeped in hot water, nevertheless medicinal! It is a true must have and I don't leave town without it. It really makes sense and I never knew there was so much information just on black tea alone. I read it all the time just gleaning from its information. I even bought a copy for a friend.

I started experimenting with brewing herbal teas several years ago and have greatly relied on this book. I have in that time frame become much more knowledgeable and adventurous about brewing teas from bulk herbs, largely due to this great resource book. It describes the attributes and potential benefits of many herbs in detail, and gives advice on brewing methods and blends. I like it so much I am now buying another copy for one of my friends.

20,000 Secrets of Tea is a great little book to add to your personal survival library and give to your friends. It is packed with practical wisdom, and graced with charm. Victoria Zak has written two classic diet books: The Fat to Muscle Diet, and the Dieter's Dictionary (all you ever need to know about the subject, too bad it's out of print). I rate health and diet books in terms of food groups: junk-food; carbs (bland and fattening); and proteins (no empty calories, builds muscles, great taste and no waste). Victoria Zak delivers pure protein. 20,000 Secrets of Tea is her best yet .

Great little book packed with useful information concerning the benefits of tea.
