Cha Pu

Cha Pu

Cha Pu (Chinese: 茶谱; pinyin: chápǔ; literally "Tea manual") is a short work written in 1440 by Zhu Quan (朱权)[1], the 17th son of Ming dynasty founder Emperor Hongwu, and relates the methods of tea preparation and degustation. It is considered by some to be a milestone in Chinese tea culture.

Following his father Emperor Hongwu's ban[citation needed] on manufacturing of tea cake, Prince Ning advocated a simpler way of steeping loose tea, a radical departure from the involved tea cake preparation methods of Tang and Song dynasty, thus pioneered a new era in Chinese tea culture. The content also provides a small on discussions tea wares.
