Harvest House Publishers author Lisa Boalt Richardson was recently awarded the Seal of Approval from The Tea House Times for her tea-themed gift books. 

A certified tea specialist, Richardson’s most recent work, The World in Your Teacup, features photography by Lauren Rubinstein.

“Tea is the second most popular beverage in the world (water being the first), and I would love for more people to realize how fun and diverse tea can be,” Richardson said. “I wrote The World in Your Teacup to share how tea is celebrated and appreciated around the world. More than just a beverage, tea is a bridge that brings people together.

Tea With a Twist, another Richardson-Rubenstein collaboration from Harvest House, also previously received the Seal of Approval.

The Tea House Times is a bi-monthly publication “Preserving the Traditions of Afternoon Tea,” and its Seal of Approval is given to qualified businesses whose products are approved by its staff after a testing and review process.
