“A simple cup of tea is far from a simple matter.”
Mary Lou Heiss, The Story of Tea: A Cultural History and Drinking Guide
tags: tea

“One last caveat: water should be boiled only once. Heating water and regulating the heat to maintain a constant level for a short tea-steeping session is fine; reheating water that has come to a boil and cooled completely will create flat-tasting, lifeless water.”
Mary Lou Heiss, The Tea Enthusiast's Handbook: A Guide to the World's Best Teas

“Crafting fine tea requires a highly developed sense of perception for touch, sight, and sound that no machine can replicate. And every tea—from Taiwan’s Ali Shan High Mountain gao shan oolong to a brisk and bright Ceylon black tea from the Nuwara Eliya region of Sri Lanka—tells a story in the cup about the soil and air that nurtured it and the tea-making skills that transformed and shaped it.”
Mary Lou Heiss, The Tea Enthusiast's Handbook: A Guide to the World's Best Teas
