Whew!
That's a blast from the past-- we haven't actively offered that for years now (although it appears to still be on our site!).
Please keep in mind when perusing this that my writing has improved a lot, and that pricing and products have changed!

I figured that pdf might be old because the IngenuiTEA was still called the Aria and you still offered the Duet teapots. (I meant to mention that in my post, actually, but I got distracted. By this ridiculous thing called "work." How annoying.) 
Do you guys still offer the CD? I saw some of the selections in the TeaMuse archive and was interested to listen to it. If you don't still offer it, can you post a playlist?

Just got mine today. I love it! But this whole thing about Budda's eyelids...I think Chris is pulling a fast one on us. Next thing you know, he'll be trying to convince us that teabags are not the way to go! That Chris is such a kidder....Does anyone have any feedback on the Tea Book. By now some of you must have received your copies.
Ilya and Michael - these pics are fab! Especially the ones on pages 64 and 65. And on page 9, I love the monk's shoes!All of the photos were taken by myself and Mike on trips through China, Japan, India, and Sri Lanka.

The book is great. It has some interesting information and anecdotes, and the photography is beautiful and the layout design is also very nice.
Perhaps it is beyond the scope of this book, but I would love to have seen more about the actual processing of the tea leaves, how they are dried, roasted, smoked, fermented, etc to produce the different types of teas.
I have to nitpick to come up with criticism, but here is what I found...I apologize in advance for my mother, who has literally worked 40 years as a secretary and thus trained me to go over my written homework with a fine-toothed comb.
I'm not sure if those are mistakes, but shouldn't the forward and afterward actually be "foreword" and "afterword?" There is also a misplaced space in the text block on page 37. ...and the Goddess whispered," The key for your future...
The only reason this is noticeable is because the spacing resulted in and "endquote" being printed at the beginning of the quote.
I want to emphasize that these are silly little things that I figured I would point out in case there is ever a 2nd edition.
Anyway, great work. I can't wait to see the next book...perhaps a big coffee table book so we can really get the full impact of the photography.
You should also bring your favorite TeaChatters (and perhaps me too?) with you on your next expedition to SE Asia.
