Reviews for The Ancient Art of Tea: Wisdom From the Old Chinese Tea Masters

This is not a practical book about how to prepare tea in modern times, but a book about the development of tea culture. The book is aimed at people who love tea. Not only drinking tea, but the artful process of making it. --<b><i>Chinese Hacks</i> blog</b>
