Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen

Though not directly a "tea" book, I would nevertheless like to direct
your attention to the following publication.
"Shanzhai - Dekonstruktion auf Chinesisch", Merve Verlag Berlin,
ISBN 978-3-88396-294-8, www.merve.de.

This publication might bring a different view to the endless discussion whether Teatoys, especially YiXing, are original, copied, reproduced, fake or whatever. At least for German speaking Tea People.

The Korean born Author, Byung Chul Han, holds a phd in philosophy, germanistics and cath. theology, habilitated at the university of Basel and holds a full professorship in Philosophy and Media Theory at the Karlsruhe State University for Design.

Best Regards
Patrick B. Ludwig

I just posted this elsewhere, but it fits here too!

I really like First Step to Chinese Puerh by Chan Kam Pong. It is pretty basic, but very inclusive, so it can really help to fill in gaps for basic puerh knowledge.

I also enjoyed The Harney and Sons Guide to Tea by Mike Harney. Very, very intro level on just about everything, but it covers the main breadth of tea.

For a book about the Tao of Tea, I recommend The Way of Tea: Reflections on a Life with Tea, by Aaron Fisher. This is not so much about tea as about Taoism and the history of the relationship between the two, though there are some great ideas, historical facts, and historical suppositions. Facinating read. I actually recommend it for everyone, since it talks about the philosophy of tea as a peaceful, kind "way", which is unfortunately not always the case here on teachat!

Just want to let you know that the new issue of "The Art of Tea Magazine" #13 is out...hope to get mine soon.

It is a pitty that only a few vendors are selling them and you cannot
get a subscription anywhere...
