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