The fourth part of the book finally takes a look at tea, its various types and its discovery and spread, along with how it is grown and processed, the teas of the world, various "tisanes" or herbal or nontea teas, as well as blending and brewing teas and tea culture and tea rituals. The fifth and final book looks at the holistic side of coffee and tea, its humanitarian concerns and its health benefits and risks.

The main text of the book is followed by a glossary of terms, a brief discussion of food pairings, and a list of coffee and tea resource that may or may not be up to date. As a whole, this is a book that is designed for people who enjoy coffee a lot more than I do.

In particular this is a book for a certain hipster audience of fans of coffee and tea who enjoy determining various blends and are fascinated by questions of how the drinks change based on small changes in how they are prepared with overpriced equipment, especially at home. The hipster mentality of this book extends to the book's lengthy discussions about fair trade and the benefits of buying coffee beans and self-roasting or buying whole leaf tea because buying preroasted beans and bag tea is too mainstream and too "stale.
