“It is the most wild book on tea you’ll ever read!”
It took me about 4 years of traveling throughout China, going where no foreigner has gone before to write this book. I delve into subjects some people do not want to talk about, but are crucial for the evolution of tea culture and tea business. What was the most fun to me was to share the beautiful experiences of studying with the different spiritual tea cultures of China. It was a mysterious and rich experience that I believe is the first time anyone has shared so in depth. I filled the book with tons of gorgeous pictures of places I have been, experiences I have had and amazing tea artisans I have met all on my tea hunting adventures.
One section any aspiring tea hunter will love is my Professional Tea Hunter’s Guide to Tea Hunting that I put in near the end of the book. It explains all the potential pitfalls to watch out for and what to expect on what could be a roller coaster ride as you hunt for tea in big China.
