Title: Beware misinformation!
Review: The Way of Tea has a very nice photographic explanation of gong fu tea preparation. Unfortunately, much of the information about tea types is misguided or just plain wrong. The author uses terms that are not in general use or are confusing, such as "light green" for oolong. Even worse, he seems to think that varieties such as oolong, black, white etc., are produced by different types of tea plant rather than as the result of different ways of processing. The tea history is pretty much cobbled together from other sources, though where he got the idea that Middle Edo period in Japan corresponds to the Tang Dynasty I have no idea! Buy this book for the information on gong fu and the nice illustrations and photos, but get your information on tea types and processing from "The Story of Tea" by Heiss and Heiss.
