Toote kirjeldus: Puer Tea: Ancient Caravans and Urban Chic

Puer Tea has been grown for centuries in the "Six Great Tea Mountains" of Yunnan Province. In imperial China it was a prized commodity, traded to Tibet by horse or mule caravan via the so-called Tea Horse Road and presented as tribute to the emperor in Beijing. In the 1990s, as its noble lineage and unique process of aging and fermentation were rediscovered, Puer tea achieved cult status both in China and internationally. It became a favorite among urban connoisseurs who analyzed it in language comparable to that used for wine appreciation?and paid skyrocketing prices for it. In 2007, however, local events and the international economic crisis caused the Puer market to collapsePuer Tea traces the rise, climax, and crash of this phenomenon. With ethnographic attention to the spaces in which Puer tea is harvested, processed, traded, and consumed, anthropologist Jinghong Zhang constructs a vivid account of the transformation of a cottage handicraft into a major industry?with predictable risks and unexpected consequences"This is an engrossing study of the Puer tea industry and the many cultural spheres that surround it. It will be of keen interest to the Western tea trade as well as historians, connoisseurs, and enthusiasts. Tea publications rarely, if ever, discuss the complex relationships that quite literally bring tea to the table. Never has the anatomy of tea been dissected in such a wide ranging, thorough, and engaging way." ?Steven D. Owyoung, co-translator of Korean Tea Classics

With ethnographic attention to the spaces in which Puer tea is harvested, processed, traded, and consumed, anthropologist Jinghong Zhang constructs a vivid account of the transformation of a cottage handicraft into a major industry--with predictable risks and unexpected consequences. Jinghong Zhang is a lecturer at Yunnan University."This is an engrossing study of the Puer tea industry and the many cultural spheres that surround it.
