作为一本“爱茶人的圣经”，本书收录了《四库全书》中包括《茶经》、《茶录》，直至清朝陆廷灿的《续茶经》在内的八部茶文化著作，只为给爱茶之人奉献一道兼具古书与现代工艺之美的“上等佳茗”。

Regarded as the “Bible for Tea Lovers,” this book compiles eight classical works on tea culture, ranging from The Classic of Tea and The Record of Tea included in Complete Library in Four Divisions, to Lu Tingcan’s Continuation of the Classic of Tea from the Qing Dynasty. It aims to offer tea enthusiasts a superior blend of ancient texts and modern craftsmanship, akin to a “finest tea.”

 

中国人喝茶，更愿意言之为品茶、享茶，说到底其实是为了茶气氤氲时，人的心境。这种心境，就是苏轼在得闲时，架起红泥小火炉，细雨慢煎一壶春，一边品茶一边呼之欲出的“人间有味是清欢”。这种心境，就是张可久宁可与世隔绝，也要在无人烟的山中“松花酿酒，春水煎茶”。这种心境，就是“茶之大圣”陆羽在茶叶浮沉中看到的“宁静致远”。

For Chinese people, drinking tea is often expressed as tea tasting or tea enjoyment, ultimately seeking a peaceful state of mind amidst the rising tea steam. This mindset can be illustrated by Su Shi leisurely setting up a small red clay stove, slowly brewing a pot of spring tea while contemplating the saying “The true pleasure of life lies in the tranquility.” It’s what Zhang Kejiu sought in his secluded mountain retreat, where he brewed tea with spring water and made liquor from pine blossoms. And it’s the “serenity and far-reaching vision” that Lu Yu, the “Sage of Tea,” discerned amidst the swirling tea leaves.

The cover is made of washed kraft paper, soft and resilient, with the title “The Canon of Tea” embossed using traditional letterpress printing. The colors complement each other, creating a warm and elegant tactile experience. The inner pages are printed on 50gsm Bible paper in two colors, faithfully reproducing the small-scale regular script calligraphy and fine-line drawings from the Wenjin Pavilion edition of Complete Library in Four Divisions.

The book’s three edges are sprayed with a blue-gold tint, harmonizing with the cover’s color scheme.
