Book Review: The Tea Cyclopedia
There is a category of tea book I like to call Tea 101.

Who Was Okakura Kakuzo (The Book of Tea Guy)?
Tea is a work of art and needs a master hand to bring out its noblest qualities. We have good and bad tea, as we have good and bad paintings–generally the latter.

The Books of The Book of Tea
What’s the most influential book ever written about tea?
