James Norwood Pratt
 Author of "JNP's NEW Tea Lover's Treasury" and a gifted speaker and teacher, James Norwood Pratt has dedicated himself to helping America become a tea consuming society. The new tea lovers are the people who have forced our sleepy old tea trade to wake up, he says, and heirs to all tea-drinking traditions of the world: " from Japanese tea ceremonies to Russian samovars to English scones in the afternoon--India chai, China green, you name it!"
Often called America's Tea Guru by people in the trade, James Norwood Pratt is a long-time San Franciscan born in Winston-Salem North Carolina, and educated at Chapel Hill and abroad. After a best-selling first book about California wine, he was widely credited with inspiring America's current "tea renaissance" with his classic "The Tea Lover’s Treasury," which was the first "serious" treatise on tea to appear in English in almost 50 years when he published it in 1982. Subsequent books and frequent articles and columns in U.S. and overseas tea periodicals make him perhaps the world's most widely-read writer on tea.
JNP will come to Austin directly from India, where he is serving as International Juror for the 2005 South India Tea Competition. He will bring with him this year's Gold Medal South India Teas to preview for Tea Embassy customers and guests.
“His wit and dedication to the beverage have helped spread the gospel of tea to tens of thousands of people.”
Michelle Williams,
