Product Description
Tea was essential to the beginnings of American independence and many of Salem's earliest merchant captains made their fortunes in the tea trade. But in Asia, tea's cultural influence extends back through millennia. Asian countries touched by the 400-year-old tea trade-China, India, Tatarstan, Indonesia, Japan, Turkey, and Iran-are all represented in this relaxing collection. Contemporary arrangements mingle with traditional sounds on tracks that feature soothing strings and lilting vocals. Putamayo's typically thorough liner notes offer further information about each performer and include a recipe for spicy and invigorating Indian chai tea. Kick back and relax on this musical journey through the tea lands.
