Ha, you could do a web search in Chinese, and out of 10 websites, the
information would be exactly the same. It's copy copy copy all the
time. It takes a lot of time and effort to translate some Chinese text
into English - and it would probably be muddled English at best; and
it's so much easier to copy. So when one can find a good site, one is
more likely to copy the information.

But I always find, the quality of information in Chinese about tea on
the web is not as good as what is printed in books.

In China, everyone does that kind of thing. Sometimes, they say at the
bottom where the text originated from. But who really knows? But then,
there are some sites that also have original material - mostly on BBS.
