The Way of Tea: A New Translation of the Classic of Tea by John North

The Way of Tea - A New Translation of the Classic of Tea by John North

A poetry chapbook

The Classic of Tea, or Chájīng, is a Chinese text over a thousand years old.

It is the earliest known extant — and perhaps the most famous — book about tea.

Among the very few complete English translations, this is the first by a British poet, presenting the Chájīng as a sustained poetic work in English.
