HEINER FRUEHAUF

In this lecture filmed at his mountain retreat in Sichuan, retired art historian Mr. Sun Wanping—educated in China, Europe and Japan—draws on decades of scholarly pursuit to explore what conditions give tea true vitality and medicinal value. He shares the story of his personal quest for the perfect tea garden, which led him to discover a 1,000-year-old monastery garden hidden for over two centuries among the misty slopes of Mt. Mengding. From the ancient Song Dynasty tea bushes he has spent five years restoring across 350 acres, Mr. Sun explains how time, place, and intention shape a leaf’s deepest character. Join him for an intimate look at all aspects of tea, through the lens of a modern-day scholar living a quiet, contemplative life in the Chinese literati tradition.
