http://blog.yayateahouse.co.nz/2008/01/16/the-leaf-magazine/ News from the Teahouse, about tea and more Thu, 09 Sep 2010 10:38:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 http://blog.yayateahouse.co.nz/2008/01/16/the-leaf-magazine/#comment-14561 Sun, 06 Apr 2008 20:24:55 +0000 http://blog.yayateahouse.co.nz/2008/01/16/the-leaf-magazine/#comment-14561 [...] The second issue of the free online magazine The Leaf has been published and my friend Aaron in his function of initiator and editor-in-chief has outdone himself again. I don’t know how he manages to gather articles by such an eclectic group of tea experts time and time again. But knowing him, it probably has something to do with the authenticity and genuine love for tea that he exudes. He’s very inspirational that way and even got me involved in acting as editor for the magazine. Therefore, I was forced to read these articles very thoroughly (I know, tough job, ey?) and learn heaps in the process. Issue 2 of The Leaf follows very much in the same direction that made the first issue (see my review of it here) such a major achievement: beautiful photos and high quality, in-depth articles that satisfy the expert and the novice equally! This issue covers topics as diverse as the portrait of Taiwanese Master Potter Deng Ding Sou, an expert treatise of the differences in tea oxidation and fermentation, as well as a detailed history of Korean tea and part one in a series of articles about the origins of the Japanese tea ceremony chanoyu, amongst others.
