The Great Teas of China is the authoritative guide to the extraordinary tea world of China, written by the leading master tea merchant in the United States, Roy Fong. From hand-picked white teas from Fu Ding and expertly crafted oolongs from Taiwan, to patiently aged puerh from Yunnan and everything in between, Fong offers his insights on choosing, brewing, and enjoying more than a dozen of his favorite Chinese teas. Fong’s Imperial Tea Court teahouse in San Francisco has been an inspiration to a whole generation of tea enthusiasts, who visit from all over the world to enjoy the finest selection of Chinese teas available in America. The Great Teas of China is a very personal and accessible introduction to contemporary tea connoisseurship. The Great Teas of China includes detailed information about tea farming, local history and culture of tea-growing regions, and artisanal techniques for processing the leaves of Camellia sinensis, the flowering perennial at the hear of Chinese culture for thousands of years. In 1993, Hong Kong native Roy Fong and his wife, Grace, created the now famous Imperial Tea Court in San Francisco, California. He is widely recognized as an authority on Chinese tea and has written about tea for Kyoto Journal and Tea Magazine, been featured in numerous publications including The New York Times, Forbes, Gourmet, Wine Spectator, and Sunset Magazine, and has appeared on the National Public Radio program “Talk of the Nation” and in the film The Meaning of Tea.
