Reader comments
I especially like the introduction of typical tea sets such as stoves, cups, and pots in the book. I feel like I have traveled back to the Ming Dynasty and experienced the tea culture at that time. Moreover, the author also mentioned the influence of the court, literati, and monks on tea sets, which made me understand how important the inheritance and integration of cultures are. For me, this book is not only about tea sets, but also about history and culture. I find it very rewarding.
