Michaela Neuenhaus asked Lisa See:

Dear Ms See, are you a tea drinker? Have you tried different sorts? What flavours would Yunnan tea have to set it apart from the rest?

Lisa See I clearly don't know how to use Goodreads, because I keep finding new places where people ask me questions. I just found yours!

I was a tea drinker, but now I'm a huge tea drinker. I'd say I might have even become a bit of a tea snob. Many kinds of tea are grown in Yunnan, so I'll focus only on pu'er. The taste is very different if it is raw, ripe, from a young tree, or a thousand year old tree. I can recommend Linda Louie's web site to learn more about pu'er: http://banateacompany.com/index.html

A Goodreads user asked Lisa See:

Hi Lisa! I have a pretty lengthy question and it exceeds the character limit on here.. I can try to shorten it but I was wondering if I could send it to you through message, could you still get it and answer it? Or would you prefer for me to shorten it and just post it through this way (: Thank you!

Eric asked Lisa See:

In your Author's Note for The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane, you say, "When the novel starts, in 1988, tea leaves picked in the mountains of Yunnan sold for 4 yuan a kilo (approx. 50 cents US in today's money). The yearly income for tea farmers averaged 200 yuan (around $25 US) a month." When converting yuan to USD, did you use currency exchange rates or purchasing power parity?

Hi Lisa. I love your books. I was wondering if you have any books coming out in the next year? Where should I look to find out such information in the future. I work in a library and would like to put reserves on new books coming out for our patrons, as far in advance as possible. Thanks a bunch.
