The art of tea is to good Chinese cooking as the
study of wine is to French cuisine. Great tea is of both culinary and
medicinal benefits. Connoisseurs have long recognized that good
origin, climate, and processing are critical to producing good
tealeaves, and that the water used, temperature, utensils and
technique are critical to proper brewing. In many areas of Asia, the
service of tea is a solemn ceremony.
