A celebration of diversity and deliciousness, Teatime Around the World reveals all the wonderful ways we can enjoy a cup of tea––or two!

Let’s go on an adventure to discover new cultures and friends through tea! In this fun and lyrical picture book for ages 4-8, kids will learn how tea is enjoyed in Thailand, Japan, Russia, Egypt, Pakistan, Hong Kong, Uruguay, South Sudan, India, and more countries!

Did you know that po cha, the traditional tea in Tibet, is thick and salty like soup? Or that in Iran, tea is served with a rock? (A rock candy, that is!) Or that afternoon tea was dreamed up in England by a duchess who complained of being hungry between lunch and dinner?

With vivid poetry, vibrant illustrations, and unique facts about different tea cultures, Teatime Around the World tells the delightful story of a beloved beverage.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 3-5-This nonfiction title provides insight into teas enjoyed around the world. A fun poem accompanies the refreshing, informational bits. Filled with rich artwork to complement each new scene, readers will not only engage with the fascinating information but will also enjoy the singsong poem that is unveiled one or two words at a time. As the narrative moves from scenes set in Chile to Hong Kong, many different people are depicted. The artwork is clearly presented and touches on nuances in various cultures without using stereotypes. An author's note reveals the inspiration for writing the book. While this text is not meant to cover the entire history of tea, it is a tribute to the drink. VERDICT This colorful book is filled with refreshingly diverse scenes depicting how tea is enjoyed around the world. A great purchase for elementary nonfiction picture book collections, especially where more cultural appreciation texts are needed.-­Molly Dettmann, Norman North H.S., OKα(c) Copyright 2011.

Review

“The message is one of global unity in which tea becomes a metaphor for how people are different and alike. A charming book to be read aloud with friends, perhaps at teatime.”
—Booklist

“Fun... refreshing... This colorful book is filled with refreshingly diverse scenes depicting how tea is enjoyed around the world. A great purchase for elementary nonfiction picture book collections, especially where more ­cultural ­appreciation texts are needed.”
—School Library Journal

“Readers whose definition of ‘tea’ begins and ends with a bag and boiling water are in for a horizon-broadening read... A refreshing cuppa conviviality, brewed and served many ways.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“Sip and read through this quiet book of all things tea.”
—Imagination Soup

“Waissbluth’s conversational style will appeal to kids looking to learn how global cultures are similar to and different from their own. Chelsea O’Byrne’s lovely matte illustrations take children to cities, the countryside, and the seaside around the globe… Sure to spur readers to learn more about the countries featured and entice them to try their signature teas, Teatime Around the World would enhance geography, history, and multicultural lessons for school and homeschooling and is highly recommended for school and public library collections.”

I like this book, because it talks about how tea is taken in cultures from around the world. I am a music teacher sub and this is perfect to share with the kids and use to come up with fun rhythms.

This is such a lovely book. We enjoy tea time with at least once a week as a family. We also spent the last two summers doing an Around The World study together and it’s inspired us to try different teas. This book really tied in multiple interests and curiosities for us. We all enjoyed it! The artwork is gorgeous, I like that I can simplify it for the toddler with the bold words or go into greater detail for my big boys. We enjoyed it so much we bought a copy for fellow homeschoolers getting into teatime! Wonderful book!

Tea lovers and tea party lovers rejoice! This book is for us! Spare rhyming narrative text with sidebars describing tea preparation in various cultures. Backmatter extends the information. As a reader, librarian, and educator I loved this book!

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2020
This beautifully designed picture book gives a peek into teatime in various locations and cultures. With short poetic primary text and additional details added in, it is well suited for a variety of ages.

Teatime at our house looks like herbal tea often served in an adorable little tea set with a treat on the side. We loved seeing what it looks like for others around the world through this charming book.

5.0 out of 5 stars There’s so much to learn about tea and this book makes it fun to learn!

This delightful book takes us on a sweet journey. It celebrates the universality of tea as a uniting expression of hospitality and a source of comfort. The illustrations are engaging as is the text. There’s so much to learn about tea and this book makes it fun to learn! It also provides a lovely opportunity to invite early readers to read the simpler sentences while a more advanced reader can read the paragraphs. I highly recommend this book – perhaps to enhance a tea party!

I've 3 granddaughters, but only one that loves Tea the way her Nana does. And so this book seemed a delightful gift. I have bought some Butterfly Pea Tea to serve with our reading. I'll do the magic Nana thing but turning it from blue to pink. And teach little Ruby about where teas come from. Lovely Christmas gift.
