I'm not sure what is the point of this book as the contents are the same as the author's other book Tao of Chinese Tea.

Shallow, even if it had its moments. As it often the case with Chinese books on tea, there are always a few new info to learn and photos you have never seen.
It's mostly a "touristy" kind of book, the paper equivalent of a famous restaurant... for tourists, that is. Yes, it highlights the local good food, it's sponsored by the local Chamber of commerce as the real thing, but it's not a place where a local would be. In its authenticity it comes out as fake.
Noteworthy the photos of the 3 different types of tea ceremony.
