Product Description For most of us the only travelling involved in tea drinking is carrying a steaming cuppa from the kitchen, to a comfy chair. But for those in the trade, growing, selecting, tasting, blending, shipping and selling tea once constituted a passport to travel in exotic places. In this fascinating and amusing book, Paul Gunton describes his life as a tea taster, recounting the story of 40 years spent in the trade, travelling in India, Africa, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, England and Ireland. With a light touch he describes the job he did, the people he met and the places he saw during his working life in the tea trade. In the Global Village of the 21st Century, Travels in a Teacup is a refreshing description of a world that has largely disappeared. About the Author Paul Gunton was born in October 1938 at Bromsgrove and educated at Abberley Hall and Blundells School, setting forth on his overseas adventures aged 20 years old in 1959. He had started his career two years earlier in London with a worldwide trading company as an overseas trainee but he was soon appointed to their specialized Tea department. At that time he little knew this decision would lead to a passion for Tea and 40 years spent travelling the globe. Married, with two sons and three grandchildren, he has now retired to the west of Ireland with his wife Cicely.
