100-page XL issue of t-Magazine, dedicated to tea culture. This edition focuses heavily on Yunnan and Pu’er tea, including Jingmai Mountain, ancient tea trees, Pu’er processing, the Tea Horse Road, tea tourism and ceramics. Also features articles on single-origin matcha, tea culture in Texas, Taiwanese incense and more.
This issue, too, is shaped by encounters made possible through travel. Awardwinning National Geographic Explorer Justin Jin visited tea families in the UNESCO World Heritage landscape of Jingmai Shan. Jeff Fuchs, the legendary explorer of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, contributed evocative portraits and landscapes captured during his historic expedition. Our author Diana Jendoubi visited tea projects in Texas and festivals throughout the US. And t-Magazine co-founder Olaf Tarmas travelled through Yunnan for this issue, as well as visiting tea artist Olivier Schneider in northern Thailand.
Join our authors on these extraordinary journeys – and allow yourself to be carried
away on a reading journey that is as sensory as it is compelling.
This issue contains some texts from the German editions, but also features many articles written exclusively for the English edition. At 100 pages, this is our biggest issue to date.
