Historical Tea Session: Lu Yu | Tea at the Lake

Today, we’re going old-school! The Classic of Tea or Cha Jing by Lu Yu is one of the oldest texts on tea preparation, and the method is very different from making tea today.

I mostly worked from this translation: https://www.amazon.com/Tea-Classic-Lu...

Another good treatment of the text can be found here: https://www.globalteahut.org/resource...

The tea I used is: https://yunnansourcing.com/collection...
