That's great that they are available. The Ukers book, which is a must reference for anyone interested about the background of tea, also is available in a facsimile reprint on Amazon - $30. The recent reissue of Uker's The Romance of Tea is, in many ways, a precis of the larger work but if you're going to buy one go for the whole shebang.Victoria wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2019 10:22 pmSecond that.

The Davidson book is fascinating but really only of interest to someone obsessed with the history and development of tea in Taiwan - that or an example of sexism in early 20th century writing.
@Bok, I think our tastes are evolving in similar ways. I too am finding that I am much more drawn to tea with a roasted component than I am to the "fresh" style. That said, I have no plans to abandon some favorite gaoshan.
