This middle section of this book includes dozens of beautiful photographs of various yixing teapots. The third section of the book - "the finer art of tea drinking" - was a series of personal vignettes on using different teapots with different types of tea. While they were called "tests" or "experiments," I saw no indication of scientific methods applied. For Westerners trying to piece together the cultural context of tea, I would still recommend a look at this book. Just apply some skepticism and care with your take-away.

This volume contains the history and legends of the most famous teapot in China, the Yixing teapot: discover the properties and secrets of Yixing clay.

Lim Kean Siew is obviously a great lover of these unique teapots and this book does a beautiful job of displaying that love. The photos are perfectly lit, show fine detail and make you really want each teapot!

Lim Kean Siew is obviously a great lover of these unique teapots and this book does a beautiful job of displaying that love. The photos are perfectly lit, show fine detail and make you really want each teapot! But, sorry, all of the teapots pictured are from his private collection. He does a nice job of describing his early tea experiences, his budding appreciation of YiXing teapots and the history of where they originated. I found the duel printing of his words in both english and chinese very welcome and helped to set the 'atmosphere' of this book.
