Tea Road

The author said, "Because I love drinking tea, I have to search for everything related to tea. Wherever I go, I always pay attention to find tea trees, ask people how to make tea, drink tea, and about customs and practices related to tea." Therefore, in the book, most of the space is spent on the journey to explore ancient Shan Tuyet tea regions such as Lung Phin, Cao Bo (Tuyen Quang), Tua Chua (Dien Bien), Phja Den (Cao Bang), Bang Phuc (Thai Nguyen)...

Unique ways of making tea to create delicious drinks such as Oriental Beauty, white tea, black tea, black tea, blue tea, chit tea, tangerine tea... as well as infusing tea with lotus, jasmine, areca, grapefruit, wolfberry... have been introduced, showing the diversity of our country's tea.

In each story, the author uses the form of ethnography including observation and participation in field research to bring the most authentic and comprehensive perspectives. In addition, individuals and businesses that are joining hands to preserve and revive ancient teas such as man hao, tra chot, tra linh, etc. are also mentioned.

Looking to the future, one of the issues the author is concerned about is how to further introduce this special drink to the world , from which the current situation and plans to make it a reality are also mentioned.

The Chinese edition of the book is expected to come out next year.
