Way of Tea: The Sublime Art of Oriental Tea Drinking
Author: Master Lam Km Chuen
In The Way of Tea, Master Lam brings to life the tales of this ancient, celebrated Chinese drink, revealing who discovered tea, how the different varieties earned their names, and how tea culture spread throughout the world. He also explains the intricate processes of cultivating the different tea plants and preparing their leaves for brewing. Although many varieties are still processed traditionally, the way in which we drink tea has changed dramatically: in today's busy world most people drink their tea in a hurry and hardly notice if it is a mass-produced, unexceptional tea or a quality blend with a unique fragrance. Master Lam revives "the way of tea" and takes you step-by-step through the traditional Chinese tea ceremony, from selecting your tea set and heating the right water to preparing, serving, and drinking your chosen tea.
