"Tea drinkers are the best in the south." In the ancient legend of China, "tea" originated from Shennong and first appeared in the southwest of China, bearing the civilization and wisdom of the Chinese nation. As a pioneering work of tea science in China and even the world, The Book of Tea systematically summarizes the tea-making technology and experience before and after the Tang Dynasty for the first time, which occupies an unparalleled important position in the history of tea culture in China and even the world, and is regarded as a classic of tea culture by later generations.
China is the hometown of tea and the birthplace of world tea culture. As early as the pre-Qin period, there was a custom of drinking tea in southern China, and in the Tang Dynasty, the wind of drinking tea gradually flourished. In order to meet the needs of social and economic development and people's life, Lu Yu (word hung-chien) summed up the accumulated tea knowledge and experience during his residence in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, and wrote the Tea Classic. The book covers the history and culture related to tea, the technology of tea production, processing and consumption, and the resulting art of drinking tea, which makes tea culture rise to a new stage.
