Book Synopsis Vietnam Tea Tales by : Geoff Hopkins
Download or read book Vietnam Tea Tales written by Geoff Hopkins and published by Geoff Hopkins. This book was released on 2024-08-01 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of tea in Vietnam is as enigmatic as the country itself. A land where tea plants grew spontaneously, where drinking tea was a national obsession, but where no serious attempts were made to take advantage of these natural phenomena. While tea in Vietnam today is dominated by large scale commodity production, it is the burgeoning artisan processing scene and specialty tea products which come under the spotlight in Vietnam Tea Tales. But it is more than a quest to discover interesting teas. It is a journey through the highways, byways, forests, and villages to the remotest corners of Vietnam’s mountainous borderlands. It is about tea-makers from different ethnicities who call the mountains their home, and the long-standing friendships that have been built with them. Not least, it is an appreciation of wild grown, majestic, ancient tea trees and the biodiversity rich environments in which they grow. In Vietnam Tea Tales, the authors unravel the mysteries of the past and draw on their personal experiences from a decade or more of tea sourcing to explore the development of the present-day tea landscape. From pre-historic origins, the story of tea in Vietnam has been shaped by Chinese domination, feudal dynasties, European colonisation, and a long struggle for independence. The modern tea industry only emerging after escaping the constraints of Confucian thought, haphazard colonial attempts to replicate British and Dutch success, and decades of war, isolation and turmoil. Vietnam Tea Tales will satisfy the curiosity of anyone interested in learning about tea from Vietnam or knowing more about the world of tea in general. So, switch on the kettle and read on ….

Book Synopsis Vietnamese Legends by : George F. Schultz
Download or read book Vietnamese Legends written by George F. Schultz and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2004-09-15 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of Vietnamese mythology will be of great interest to cultural scholars as well as people of Vietnamese descent. The history of every country is reflected in its myths and legends and this absorbing collection of thirty-two stories vary from the sweep and grandeur of past battles, to the wit of parables. While a number of Chinese fables have absorbed into the folk-lore of Vietnam, The story of Tam and Cam' is the Vietnamese version of a Chinese Cinderella story. Most of these tales are indigenous to the Vietnamese. But whether imported or Vietnam originals, all of these stories contain an Oriental charm and logic that will intrigue the modern reader. These range from lengthy legend 'Trach Sanh,' to ‘Statesman Ly,' a remarkable comment from the past, illustrating the situation today. Many of these stories reflect the fierce respect Vietnamese hold for honor. Filial and conjugal love, devotion to one's friends, are constant themes characteristic of the Vietnamese people. Particularly noteworthy is the author's success in retaining this atmosphere in translation. These stories vividly portray a Vietnamese way of thinking that make a book of rare appeal to the western reader.
