Lao's review February 23, 2001
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
Includes history, poems and treatises about tea, tea houses, ceremonies, brewing, cups and vessels, varieties, and the effect that tea has on the physical health and psyche. Everything you need to know about Chinese teas is contained in this book. A very welcome addition to anyone's culinary library!

Great in-depth overview of the varieties of tea and drinking vessels! You need this book.
An absolute WEALTH of knowledge December 28, 1998
This man, though not Chinese, truly knows his subject and loves it. It shows all through the book. its a masterpiece! a simply MUST HAVE for all admirers of tea or the Chinese culture/ppl/way. Perhaps in a way it is fitting that the author is not Chinese. It shows that even a barbarian [foreigner] can learn something so different when he has enough love and time and determination.
makes me want to drink tea December 14, 1998
