Dr Yupin Chung is a curator, art historian, and Chair of The Seven Strings – Tea Connoisseur Society based in Glasgow. Drawing on historical sources and her own extensive experiences as she journeyed throughout China, Yupin not only provides piquant impressions of a beauty now departed but also gives practical information for the enjoyment of fine teas and of the attractive ceramic accessories that enrich the experience of brewing and drinking varied teas. In her research areas she specialises in oriental design influences in the Western world, the visual culture of tea and the Scottish tea merchants.
