The team at Stir Tea are very grateful for Peter’s kind written permission to share his articles with you. We are in awe of his depth of knowledge, ability to communicate this in such a clear and engaging manner and his generosity of spirit in allowing us to share his work with our community of tea lovers. Thank you Peter for your incredible contribution to tea and in capturing the magic and complexity surrounding the camellia sinensis leaf that we all love so deeply.
