Where do you end up if you dig a hole straight through the earth on the beach at Cape Cod, Miami, or Malibu? I'll give you a hint, it isn't China. But in our minds and hearts it will always be China, such is the mystery and myth of that country. In this book there is a story about the Great Wall, Marco Polo, the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, and the Boson Tea Party, although your probably wondering what Alice or a group of New England colonist dressed up as Narragansett Indians has to do with China? All the Tea in China is a collection of poetry, flavored with a dab of short story (Wild Imagination), haiku, and a haibun. The binding of the book is China, each thread a tribute to the diversity of China from its poets, tea culture, historical figures, legends and myths.
