So far, it's available as an e-book in pdf format. Its price is 3 USD, but I will give it for FREE for any order of tea over 60 USD made on my online tea-masters boutique, starting today.
Note: J'ai commencé à traduire ce guide en français!

Congratulations, and thank you! I think this will be a wonderful resource.
This is an incredible guide! It is truly wonderful to be able to refer to a single source that is essentially the culmination of more than a decade of intense study in Gongfu Cha. I particularly enjoyed the amount of practical advice and brewing techniques outlined to brew different specific types of oolong. I have only been studying Gongfu Cha for a year, and I used to brew oolong using very vague guidelines that I have learned, such as always using a strong first pour for all balled oolongs. It wasn't until you, Teaparker, and Palina came to Penn State this spring, did I began to realize the small variations in technique tailored for a specific tea is the difference between a great cup and an amazing one. It is great that I can now go to a single resource to get all of the tips and tricks in the endless pursuit of mastering Gongfu Cha. I would be surprised if there is a more comprehensive and complete guide to brewing oolong in the English-speaking world! Thank you Stephane, this is what I have been looking for for quite some time!
Congratulations ! I have just read this guide and although I do not have the expertise of Ryan Ahn (comment above ), I felt the same way. This seems to be a very valuable, very detailed yet brilliantly succinct PRACTICAL guide that would enable a determined beginner to make good progress quickly.
Now comes the inevitable request : Please would you do the same for PUERH ? As you know, in the land of puerh, I am entirely lost, and perhaps many others too ?
Thanks for all your comments! I'm glad you find it interesting and useful.
Is Paola alone in thinking I should also do such a guide for puerh? Please let me know!
Stéphane, this is not just an instructive guide, but also an awakening of beauty and imagination in tea preparation and tasting. The Chaxi-Mandala is a simple but profound idea to explore, very generously shared.
Thanks for this guide.
Such a guide for puerh would be great !
Hi Stéphane..
Thank you for making this clear instructive guide. It has great tips and I learned a lot. Going to be busy to enhance my skills.
Again I would like to thank you for the quick respons, when I asked my question!
All the best,
Greetings from Belgium! Kelly
