Jiecha jian 玠茶箋

Jiecha jian 玠茶箋 (岕茶箋) is a book on tea written during the late Ming period 明 (1368-1644) by Feng Kebin 馮可賓, courtesy name Zhengqing 正卿, from Yidu 益都, Shandong. He obtained his jinshi degree in 1622 and was prefectural judge of Huzhou 湖州, but retired after the foundation of the Qing dynasty 清 (1644-1911). Feng was a famous connoisseur of bamboo paintings.

The textual version naming Feng Kebin as the author is included in the series Guang Baichuan xuehai 廣百川學海. It was extracted from the Shuofu 說郛 (Xu shuofu 續說郛), where only Wang Ruqian 汪汝謙 (1577–1655) is named, who critically revised the original text, but Feng is not mentioned there. The text is also included in the series Chongding Xinshang bian 重訂欣賞編, Shuibian linxia 水邊林下 and Zhaodai congshu 昭代叢書. In the latter, there is an appendix of 5 articles attributed to Feng Kebin as well as an afterword written by Yang Fuji 楊復吉.

The text explains the designations of tea, methods of plucking, steaming, roasting, oxidising, storing, quality assessment, water qualities, and tea tools, as well as some recommendations and cautions regarding the consumption of tea.
