Reviews

"A cross-cultural survey threaded with tea history, entertaining tips and a glossary of steep-worthy herbs, it illustrates the beverage’s universal place at the table through the prism of her own experiences.” — T: The New York Times Style Magazine

"Dr. Maria Geyman’s earliest memories of tea are of her grandmother Babushka Rita’s Brooklyn apartment, its walls covered in art, its shelves crowded with books and inherited tea sets, with the smell of dill and garlic drifting from the kitchen. She didn’t think, however, that those afternoons listening to countless family stories over cups of tea, would eventually shape both a career and her debut book, With Tea. Geyman, a naturopathic doctor and founder of the beloved tea brand Masha Tea, has spent the past decade weaving together different threads: her family’s immigration from Kyiv, her clinical training in herbalism, and a deep love of ritual and design. That work now lives in With Tea, a guide that treats tea as a lens for understanding culture, history, and self-care.” — Surface Magazine

 "It’s a great new book all about the wide world of tea, paired with recipes for brewing tea and desserts to serve with it.” — Taste/Taste Podcast

"Fast forward to finishing With Tea. I was intrigued about the idea of a tea lifestyle and did what any sane person person would do: immediately went to Facebook Marketplace to find teacups. Two new cups later, I realized I don’t actually have to pick sides. I can remain fiercely loyal to espresso in the morning and still make room for tea later in the day.” — Electric Max

"Who doesn’t like a cuppa tea? For those especially fond of the drink, a gift for you: With Tea, a book about all things tea, from Maria Geyman, the founder of Masha Tea and a board-certified naturopathic doctor. From Rizzoli, it offers tea-focused city guides, teatime recipes, information on how to source ingredients, and more. With Tea weaves together art, wellness, travel, and culture into a beautiful ode.” — Airmail Magazine

"A vintage tea cup from Milan, its cracks carefully repaired with gold powder and urushi resin by ceramicist Miwa Neishi, covers Masha Tea founder Maria Geyman’s serene debut book, With Tea (Rizzoli). One of several featured family heirlooms, along with her great-grandmother’s silver sugar holder and the cake server from her wedding, it offers a fitting first impression of Geyman’s philosophy, rooted in carving out daily moments of ceremony and beauty without overcomplication. In her own thoughtfully crafted blends, Geyman prefers just three herbs or fewer (“That’s the sweet spot for me,” she says), which seamlessly translates to her book’s three-part structure. She explores tea culture around the world, shaped by her Soviet diasporic heritage and travels to India and Japan; at home, prepared for oneself or in good company; and through the lens of health, informed by her background as a naturopathic doctor. Geyman’s reflections—fueled by grounding holy basil tea during her writing process—and recipes for sour cherry strudel and licorice-tea ice pops, steep to even fuller life with photography by Fujio Emura, captured at New York hospitality institutions like The Hotel Chelsea and The Lowell, and playfully surreal watercolor scenes by jewelry designer and artist Alice Waese.” — Slowdown

 "Host gift alert: Ukrainian-born Masha Tea founder, writer and naturopathic doctor Maria Geyman, who authors the Tea for Two Substack, is publishing her debut book With Tea tracing tea traditions, cultures, and tea-focused guides from Milan to Tokyo.” — YOLO Journal
