Obsessives
The Proper Cup of Tea
James Norwood Pratt is steeped in it
Tea: It’s so much more than a small afternoon pleasure. Connoisseur James Norwood Pratt puts tea in context, as not only “one of the world’s greatest handmade works of art,” but an antiwar palliative. Along the way, he weighs in on Starbucks, tea bags, and water quality.
This is a regular series called Obsessives, in which CHOW explores the worlds of singularly focused food-industry figures. These are the people with the dirty hands, answering detailed questions about the work they do.

James Norwood Pratt!!! What a gentleman in the world of tea! Being new to the tea industry, I got to meet Mr. Norwood Pratt earlier this year...what a pleasure! He is very knowledgable and wise. And it is true- i think tea needs the same respect wine gets; tea is beyond Lipton and Tetley teabags!
enjoyed the clips. loved the story ! might check his book out.
This man is amazing. I love this one!! He needs his own PBS show. Great voice. Great man. And I don't even drink tea that much. But I want to right now.
I loved this obsessive! Really interesting - I agree with itsolivia - he does need his own PBS special.
Really excellent addition to an excellent series.
I picked up some new ways to talk about tea from this interview. "Most affordable luxury"...and his comparison of tea learning to lovemaking...classic! Great job. I wrote a post about the video to my readers today.
Don't forget the Brown Betty teapot. Perfect for making more than a single cup in the office. The below website is an example, but you can purchase them at many places.
