The Art and Alchemy of Chinese Tea
The Art and Alchemy of Chinese Tea by Daniel Reid (Hardback, 240 p.p) explores Chinese tea in its manifold varieties, history, and as a part of Chinese culture. Reid describes the principles that lie at the heart of tea culture in China, the potent medicinal properties of Chinese tea, and how to cultivate Cha Dao, the Daoist way of tea, in daily life. He also explores for the first time the alchemy of Chinese tea, an esoteric aspect of Chinese tea culture that remains unexplored by modern science, but which was known and cultivated in ancient China to protect health, prolong life, and enhance mental performance. Tea lovers, as well as those with an interest in tea culture, the Dao, and Chinese history and culture, will find this book an absorbing and revelatory read.
