I truly enjoyed the way Childs paints the historic city of Charleston and her knowledge of tea. Childs details each tea with such inviting descriptors, I find myself reaching for my cup. There is a bonus recipe at the end, which I .always enjoy. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

muy bueno, inicia lento, la narrativa puede ser algo simple y muy explicativa, pero el plot twist no me lo ví venir, terminó buenísimo y hacia el final no podia bajar el libro, team earl grey <3
