As a service to our customers, we offer most of our recommended tea "tomes" through Amazon.com. Books bought on the Amazon web site do not count toward the free shipping threshold at Virtual Tea, but you will usually save enough money when ordering a book through the Amazon web site to make up for any shipping charges. We only ask that you don't forget to come back here to order your tea and other goodies! You can also come back here after adding a book to your Amazon.com shopping cart as an easy way to link to your next book.
