Tea Stories

The Times-Standard in Eureka, California has begun a semimonthly column to be written by Shuai Chen. Chen is a certified tea master. Her first offering is an engaging article telling stories of ancient China and incidentally weaving in tea. Her last very short tale is about the friendship between a monk poet, Shi Jiaoran, and the man who wrote Book of Tea, Lu Yu.

The article also discusses a story dealing with a Chinese idiom of “High Mountains and Flowing Streams”. She tells of how this can be an important find from the tea ceremony and what it can mean there. All in all,this article was an interesting read.
