Tea and Tea Set (English Edition): A Beginner's Guide to Chinese Tea – From Green Tea to Pu-erh & the Tools to Brew Them

This book is a practical guide to Chinese tea and the tools used to brew it—written for readers who want to understand what they are drinking, not study tea theory. It walks through the six major tea types one by one—green, yellow, white, blue, black, and dark—with famous examples like Longjing, oolong, and Pu-erh, so you can tell them apart and know what makes each one special. Then it moves to the tea set: what modern teaware looks like, what the different pieces are for, and how to choose the right tools for the tea you are making. The final section answers the questions people actually ask—why loose-leaf tea is different from tea bags, how many types of Chinese tea there are, and how to make the best cup. If you want a clear, picture-rich guide to Chinese tea and teaware for everyday use—rather than a dense academic history of tea culture—this is it.
