Tea: Magic Leaves (English Edition) – Cultural Symbols of China: A 5,000-Year Story of Tea, People & Tradition

From the Origin Legend and Six Tea Types to the Tea-Horse Road, Global Trade, Tea Masters Like Su Shi & Lu You, and Curious Tea Stories — No Tea Background Needed
This book tells the story of Chinese tea through the people, places, and little moments that shaped it. It starts with the legend of how tea was discovered, then walks through the six main types of tea, the ancient Tea-Horse Road, how tea traveled to Japan and Britain and eventually around the world, and what tea ceremony and Zen really mean in daily life. Along the way, you meet emperors, poets, and tea lovers—Su Shi, Lu You, Emperor Huizong, and others—and pick up curious facts: why a Pu’er tea cake weighs 357 grams, what makes Oriental Beauty tea special, and why Wuyi Rock Tea has no rock in it. No tea background needed.
