Serving tea full of human touch is even better than the nectar from heaven!
In early society, whether it was on the roadside, under a tree, in front of a temple or at a ferry, you could see a large tea bucket or teapot everywhere, with a cup or bowl covering the mouth of the pot, and the words "Serve Tea" on the tea bucket or teapot. , which is free tea provided to passers-by.
The story follows Tu Tu Gong as he patrols around, visiting different places and observing the scene of "serving tea" in the world. Tutu Gong discovered that the tea served by "Fengcha" was free, and "Fengcha" was everywhere, whether at crossroads, mountain trails, or even in the wilderness. As long as you are thirsty, there is free tea to quench your thirst anytime and anywhere, and because of this human touch, drinking this tea is particularly sweet.
The story shows the Taiwanese people's deep human kindness of caring for others, as well as the unique Taiwanese customs.

充滿人情味的奉茶，相比天界甘露，有過之而無不及！
早期社會中，無論是路旁、樹下、廟前或是渡口，到處可見一個大茶桶或是一個茶壺，壺口倒蓋著一個杯子或碗，茶桶或茶壺貼著「奉茶」字樣，這是提供給路人飲用的免費茶水。
故事藉由土地公到處巡察，走踏不同的地方，觀察人間四處「奉茶」的景況。土地公發現，原來「奉茶」的茶水是免費的，而且不管是十字路口、登山口，甚至荒郊野外，「奉茶」無所不在。只要口渴了，隨時隨地都有免費的茶水可以解渴，也由於這樣的人情味讓這奉茶喝來分外甜美。
於是，土地公在巡視了各區之後，決定將這充滿濃濃人情味的奉茶，帶到天庭送給玉皇大帝當賀禮，也讓其他帶來山珍海味的土地公大開眼界。最後，玉皇大帝也決定在神仙往來天庭的南天門的門口，擺上一壺奉茶！
故事呈現臺灣人體恤他人的濃厚人情味，以及特有的臺灣風情。

《奉茶》這本繪本寫的不僅是茶，更是深厚的人情味。現今的「奉茶」心意，還存在台灣各個角落喔！我跟七旬母親郊外出遊或在台灣街道行走，只要帶著自己的水壺，就有許多廟宇、公司或便利商店可以讓我們裝水，即時又乾淨。雖然沒有早年「奉茶」的紅紙標記，但這心意已成為我們日常的溫暖與風景。回味《奉茶》這繪本，點滴溫馨，感恩在心。――吳在媖（兒童文學作家）
暖心意是最甘甜的茶
《奉茶》一書敘述臺灣早期濃厚富有人情味，體恤他人的奉茶文化，體現了純樸的茶之味，透過閱讀喚起了在地茶記憶，是特有的茶文化。文字以神明角度敘事，圖像人物神情也有很趣味。而現今的奉茶行動App，整合了公共飲水機和熱心奉茶的好店家資訊，協助自備水壺的人快速找到最近的取水點，避免寶特瓶垃圾產生、保護海洋。實為永續教育好文本！――劉淑雯（Southern California Teachers College 課程總監、臺北市立大學兼任助理教授）
難以想像，台灣圖畫書《奉茶》，靜靜地已經超過20年的出版歲月！（民國90年初版）這本由劉伯樂自寫自畫的作品，一直是我心中台灣經典圖畫書前十名之一，不但傳達出台灣最美的人情味，更呈現出人神間的互助互信、虔誠與敬意。多年來，這本好書，我曾帶去成人教育班、新移民教育媽媽班、國小低中高年級的孩子班上……等等場合分享，甚至在日本推廣茶道的華僑朋友，也多次託我採購當作禮物書送人，我們都真實地享受到，這本美好圖畫書，帶給大家心中暖暖的感動啊！――李公元（岳明國中小藝術教師）
