Fantastic article. I stop by his site every few months but thanks for bringing this to my attention, could easily have been missed.
Re: Gong fu cha history
If you just skip through the paper, remember though there’s a difference between “just” Gongfucha and Chayi, the titular tea arts.
It’s not the regional, utilitarian Gongfucha itself prior to its popularization on a national level that had been influenced by ideas about aesthetics from Japan, but Gongfucha has been imbued with them to become Chayi.

Fascinating stuff! I knew bits and bops of it, nice to find such a comprehensive summary.
Excellent work. Recommended read for any teachtter!
