The Way of Tea by Kam Chuen Lam
Like wine, tea has infinite variations of colour, aroma and taste for the conoisseur to savour. The Way of Tea is an indispensable guide to the art of making and enjoying this delicious, healthy and complex drink. Written in four parts, the book comprises: an exploration of the history of tea and tea-drinking; a detailed explanation of the methods of cultivating, picking and processing tea, and a description of the characteristics of the six main tea 'families'; the secrets of making the perfect cup of tea; a collection of recipes for healing teas to help you lose weight, cure colds, reduce blood pressure, and boost your energy.
Master Lam is a recognised master of the arts of Tai Chi and Chi Kung, a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and a master of Feng Shui. He is perhaps best known as the first person to bring Zhan Zhang Chi Kung - a 'soft' martial art - to the UK, with his ground-breaking book The Way of Energy (published by Gaia Books) and his popular Channel 4 series Stand Still - Be Fit. Master Lam has written many books related to the Chinese understanding of health and culture, including The Feng Shul Handbook, Step-by-Step Tai Chi, and The Way of Healing. The Way of Tea is a family collaboration, combining Master Lam's healing expertise, his wife Kai Sin's knowledge of domestic tradition, and their second son Tin Yu's deep understanding of the Chinese way of life. Master Lam lives in London, and teaches and practices Traditional Chinese Medicine at his clinic near Waterloo.
