I got the book and have read it. I respect Roy Fong for his knowledge and like his tea; he is definitely an expert on Chinese teas. However, I found the book to be unsubstantial. It has some insight and some of his personal stories, but not very much unique information that hasn’t already been covered by the vast variety of tea information books and blogs already out there. For a project that he has been working on for a while, and with his knowledge of the tea world, this book left me disappointed – especially with its $18.95+tax+shipping price tag.

Got the book. I do have some mixed feelings about it. The data in the book is good, but the book itself is so puny. Only 80 pages?! I hoped Roy has something more to say about tea. What was the problem? So difficult to put it on the paper?

Great review of what is a very important new resource for the tea community. I had the opportunity to attend Roy’s OMG class in San Francisco where we tasted several of his most rare teas. He is a true teacher.

My copy is on the way and I am really looking forward to it as I am just beginning my journey in the world of Chinese green teas.
