Features: Drinking tea as an elegant and tranquil leisure activity is not only beneficial to physical health but also a great joy in life. Leisure at home, sipping a cup of fragrant tea, tasting its aroma, reading newspapers and books, feels refreshing and calm; gathering with family for tea, chatting and laughing, creating a harmonious atmosphere; sitting in a teahouse, sharing a good pot of tea with a few close friends, talking about various topics, discussing the past and present, and feeling utterly content. This book aims to provide readers with a knowledge-based read on tea, to broaden horizons, enrich the topic of tea, and enhance the fun and charm of drinking tea.
