Looking Deeply into Tea

Thoughts and Prayers

By Shelley Richardson
Photography by Bruce Richardson
First Edition

Shelley Richardson has combined her sensitive writing skills with the beautiful photography of Bruce Richardson to produce a moving and powerful tribute to the tea workers and tea gardens of Sri Lanka and India.

The 35 color photographs show you the faces of people who labor each day to produce our cup of tea. You will never drink a cup of tea again without thinking of them.

"Pure refreshment for the heart."  Norwood Pratt, author of New Tea Lover's Treasury

“Shelley and Bruce gently make us aware of the people who faithfully tend the tea gardens...”  China Galland, author of Longing for Darkness

"This is a powerful book. It manages to change the outlook of the day and bring a calming and serene effect. It is simply beautiful."  Cheryl Lewis, BellaOnline

"This book acknowledges our debt to the contributions of others to our pleasures. Savor the photographs..."  Spirituality & Health magazine

"This small but powerful volume is a delight. The photographs are both beautiful and inspirational and the sayings thought- provoking. Pull up a cozy chair, sip a rich, aromatic cup of tea and ponder the beautiful and diverse planet on which we live."  Amazon reviewer

Looking Deeply into Tea has now been made into a DVD containing 32 three-minute photographic meditations paired with original music and spoken word.  You may order the DVD or instrumental CD.
