Chapter 6
The History of Tea (Book 1)
Camellia Sinensis Superstar
In the post-Lu Yu world, tea starts to take off like a rocket. It will take a little longer for tea to get the needed traction in Japan but during the Tang, they get to see it and appreciate it up close. We'll also look at one of the early "Tea Persons", the poet and recluse Lu Tong, as well as one of his most famous tea poems. In this chapter, we also introduce the first popular tea ware, Yue ware and Xing ware.
