The Classic of Tea - Lu Yu | Sunday Tea Book Season 2 ep.7 | Wuyi Qi Lan Oolong Tea
Channel: ZhenTea
Date: 2022-08-23

The Classic of Tea, written by Lu Yu in the 60s and 70s of the 8th century (about 1200 years ago), includes 10 chapters explaining tea’s origin, tools, production, utensils, boiling, drinking, history, growing regions, and how to simplify and pictorialize. This was the first book, or treatise, dedicated to tea and inspired many more that followed his work. In the classic of tea, Lu Yu systematically summarized tea history, knowledge, and practices from before his time, making it a solid reference for us modern people to study the ancient history of tea. 

With this season of Sunday Tea Book, we're hoping to connect modern with ancient, read beyond the words, explain the culture and the time difference and learn helpful information about today’s tea.
