    All,

    Notes on the Epilogue:

    Note that "Fragrant Green Mist" and "Thunder Pod" are names of tea.

    "it is as delicate and fine as the tongues of birds"

    This phrase is commonly used to describe the small delicate look of Ujeon and Saejak tea leaves of Korea called "sparrows tongue" or "Jak sul" tea.

    Peace
