An affectionate homage to the British tradition of tea-drinking and to the greatest tea biscuits of all time, from the Custard Cream to the Pink Wafer.

Put a cup of tea in your hand, and what else can you do but sit down? This new book celebrates that most British of life’s cornerstones: the tea break. There is, however, another element to this ritual that is a must: biscuits. As Nicey so rightly points out, a cup of tea without a biscuit is a missed opportunity. Finding the right biscuit for the right occasion is as much an art as it is a science, and it is a task that Nicey has selflessly worked on for most of his tea-drinking life. From dunking to the Digestive, the Iced Gem to the Garibaldi, everything you’ll ever need to know about British biscuits is in this book, and quite a lot more besides. So go on. Put the kettle on, take a weight off, and enjoy.

    This book is written by two British tea fanatics who cannot possibly live without tea. It gives lots of mundane details about tea, biscuits and cakes, including their history, their structures and the "connoisseur" way to enjoy them, along with many cynical and funny comments. Some of the jokes about biscuits are too British and I don't really understand them, but overall I appreciate the writers' sense of humour and and their passion in tea. If you enjoy tea and biscuits, or if you are a Briton, you will love this book!
