'''''The Classic of Tea''''' or ''Tea Classic'' (t=[[wikt:茶|茶]][[wikt:經|經]] s=[[wikt:茶|茶]][[wikt:经|经]]) is the very first monograph on tea in the world, written by Chinese writer [[Lu Yu]] between 760 CE and 780 CE during the Tang Dynasty.
According to Tea Lore, [[Lu Yu]] was an orphan of Jinling county (now Tianmen county in Hubei province) who was adopted by a Buddhist monk of the Dragon Cloud Monastery. He refused to take up the monastic robes and was assigned menial jobs by his stepfather. Lu Yu ran away and joined the circus as a clown. At age 14, Lu Yu was discovered by the local governor Li Qiwu who offered Lu Yu the use of his library and the opportunity to study with a teacher. During the An Lushan and Shi Siming rebellion period, Lu Yu retired to Shaoqi (now Wuxing county, Zhejiang). During this period, Lu Yu made friends with many literati, including the calligrapher Yan Zhenqing and the poet Huang Pu Zheng and wrote his masterpiece: ''Ch'a Ching''.
