Set against the serene backdrop of Palampur, where the British-era tea gardens roll into the blue folds of the Dhauladhar mountains, Tea Tales from Palampur traces the intertwined journeys of the town and the drink.
Blending history, travel, and quiet reflection, the author takes you from the misty slopes of Kangra to the ancient tea houses of China and Japan - exploring how a simple leaf travelled across continents and centuries to become an inseparable part of India's daily rhythm. Along the way, he reveals how tea is grown, picked, rolled, and brewed; how it became a symbol of home and hospitality; and how, in its stillness, it can become a form of meditation.
If you have ever paused mid-sip to think about the story in your cup, this book is your invitation to linger a little longer.
