My book about the exceptional Tea Meetings experience I had I Taïwan is based on no less than one hundred sessions.
They were separated into three phases that lasted two and a half years. The members had tasted approximately five hundred varieties of tea. The varieties of teas included fresh, green, black, white, red, or yellow, with assortments covering raw, cooked, old, new, exotic, and rare.
We tasted all of them with great joy, and to experience with the heart and the spirit. For a tea gathering lasted such a long period of time that is well-planned and aimed at, with a scope both broad and far reaching, with all participants of high quality, with rather thorough documents for each of the sessions, perhaps had never happened before in the annals of history.
With joy and gratitude after attending the meetings, the tea friends inevitably would like to share with others as a feedback. Therefore, we summarized the records and experiences of the one hundred sessions of Tea Meetings primary based on the written notes, together with the live audio recordings and the tea critiques.
We then condensed and made amendments into this volume―Cha-Dao.
You can find the different part of that 300+ pages book in our SHOP. This experience has been so rich, it is incredible and a one-in-a-lifetime for sure and I can't wait to share it with you!
