    This is a very good book. It's the one I've read that focuses most on tea. Business discussions are held in quiet and elegant places, like teahouses, not the ubiquitous clubs and bars. It feels like there's nowhere else to conduct business. (This is just my personal opinion, not an attack.) Discussing business in clubs and bars feels vulgar; it's always about sharing drinks, with a few young men and women around, the kind where you're surrounded by women. This book is much better—refined, elegant, and comfortable. There are no misunderstandings or conflicts. It captures at least 60-70% of the refined atmosphere of a prominent family (mainly because I don't know what real prominent families are like [smirk]).
