Everything you need to know about Chinese teas is contained in this book. A very welcome addition to anyone's culinary library!

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute WEALTH of knowledge, December 28, 1998

Karen Baker - See all my reviews

This review is from: Chinese Art of Tea (Paperback)

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.
