I have just received a new book that should be of wide interest: "The True Story of Tea" by Victor H. Mair & Erling Hoh, published by Thames and Hudson, ISBN 978 0500251461 It covers the whole history of tea in
280 pages, economical on photos so high on content, it even mentions Korea 7 times and quotes me once, so I cannot complain. I have yet to read more than snippets, I can say that it is clearly designed for the "general reader" and since the main author is a Professor of Chinese Language and Literature, it is very well documented and covers all the main tea-drinking places and besides . . .
