Tea History in China

In his immortal book The Classic of Tea 《茶经》, LU Yu (about Ad 733 – 804, Tang Dynasty), the widely regarded Tea Saint, wrote:
'Tea is a precious evergreen tree found in South China. It varies from one or two Chinese feet (chi – 33.3cm) to several tens of feet.'

'Because tea is by nature cool, it makes most suitable drink. Those who attend to their behavior and are of frugal character and who may feel hot and thirsty, or out of sort, or have a headache, or irritation of the eye, or fatigue of the limbs, or discomfort of the joints, merely need to drink four or five mouthful of tea and it will achieve much the same effect as drinking refined curds.'

‘Drinking tea that has not been picked in time, that has not been prepared with care, or that has been mixed with wild tea will cause illness.’

This book covered all the major topics in Tea, it has ten chapters, covering 1. The origins of tea, 2. The tools used in picking and manufacturing tea, 3. The manufacturing of tea, 4. Vessels of making and drinking tea, 5. Tea boiling, 6. Tea drinking, 7. Historic materials on tea, 8. Tea production areas, 9. Simplification on tea drinking, 10. Hanging Scrolls for tearoom.

This book is well regarded as the foundation of tea culture in China even today, it is still used as number 1 teaching material on tea and tea culture.
