Subject : Philatelic board on 'Tea related literature'.

Elucidation: 

Tea is considered to be the most widely taken drink throughout the world, after water. 

It is perceived that the consumption of Tea was first envisaged in China and slowly became a habit and integrated into the culture of the people. 

Lu Yu's Tea Classic is the earliest known treatise on tea, and perhaps the most famous work on tea. The book is not large, about 7000 Chinese characters in the literary language of the Tang Dynasty, a condensed, refined and poetic style of Chinese. It is made of "Three Scrolls Ten Chapters".

The First stamp in the philatelic board was issued by Federated State of Micronesia on Lu Yu's Tea Classic. 

The next three stamps are Chinese paintings on Tea culture issued from Taiwan.
