  • Summary

  • Stéphane Erler has been blogging since 2004. His blog, Teamasters, has been a consistent source of inspiration, knowledge, and musings about tea. In this wide-ranging conversation, recorded at Lin Gardens in New Taipei City, Taiwan, we discuss his beginnings, tea storage, the origin of gong fu cha and how it differs from most contemporary practice, and how the market has changed over the decades. We also drink a lot of tea.
