"Savoring tea is an art - it is an art of Qi transformation, of martial arts, of medicine, of internal alchemy, of Zen, of Dao, of life, and, of course, it is an art of love. Thank you Daniel Reid, the master of Zen tea, for offering to us the pinnacle cup of high mountain oolong tea - The Art & Alchemy of Chinese Tea. Let us savor it slowly and allow the answers of Chadao to come."
- from the Foreword by Master Zhongxian Wu
"If anyone wishes to learn more about "The Art and Alchemy of Chinese Tea", I cannot think of any other person more knowledgeable than Daniel Reid. This is a book full of details of why and what and how we love, can learn and enjoy the many treasures of Chinese Tea. Daniel and I shared our fortunate kinship with our late mentor-friend, John Blofeld, the eminent sinologist who was quite a lover and expert in the Art of Tea. Daniel's book is a worthy tribute to follow through. "Uncle" Blofeld would be very proud!"

"Daniel Reid has finally explained the mystery behind why I like tea so much."
