🔽 Book review and notes 🔽
Just a bit of history, tradition and geography of tea, which sometimes is incorrect (like, we use chunky steel pot for tea) but interesting aspect from French to see what they value in tea, that is, its colonial history and its fanciness. (Box of tea can be carried by native youths because the road is narrow and steep, etc.)
Full on Orientalism.
I do buy the tea but their selling point is the fanciness and Orientalism so maybe that's just how it is.
Then the rest is their catalogue with brief explanations.
