- Random Excerpt/Page 35: “Of all the feasts in this book, Swann’s way is the most obsessively sensitive and gratuitously nostalgic. It is not about flavor, and certainly not about portion-size-it is only a small mouthful that sets Swann off on his multi-volume reverie. This tea reminds the serious gastronome of the exquisite pleasures of simple things simply done, and the extraordinarily range of memories that can be revived by simple tastes.”
- Happiness Scale: 7 1/2
