Culture Of Tea In China: Practical Advice On Selecting, Brewing, And Enjoying The Perfect Cup Of Tea: How Do You Do A Chinese Tea Ceremony? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798536518977)

This book introduces the reader to the intrinsic Chinese cultural experience associated with tea.
Traditionally called Cha Dao, or the Dao of Tea, it is the harmony of tea, water, utensils, preparation, environment and conversation to create the perfect moment-a moment that can last for hours. A skilled pourer of tea creates the moment without standing in the middle of it. The moment belongs to the fragrance and taste of the tea, the atmosphere of 'tea friends' coming together, a moment outside the hecticness of daily life.
