THE LOST ART OF TEA: Rediscovering the Ceremony Behind Every Cup: 2 (The Lost Art Series) - Softcover
Book 2 of 2: The Lost Art Series
Synopsis
A monk who couldn't stay awake. An orphan raised in a monastery who became a nation's tea god. A duchess with a sinking feeling at five o'clock.
Centuries before anyone used the word mindfulness, people around the world were already building entire ceremonies around a single cup of tea—using nothing more than hot water, leaves, and attention.
The Lost Art of Tea tells the real story behind one of the world's oldest and most quietly ritualized traditions. From an abandoned child in Tang Dynasty China who wrote the first book ever devoted to tea, to a Japanese tea master who built an entire philosophy around imperfection, to a Russian samovar that transformed an ordinary drink into an all-day social ritual, this is the documented history of a tradition that spans continents and centuries—and the story of how much of it has quietly been lost.
This isn't a health book, and it won't tell you how much tea to drink. It's the story of a ceremony—and a simple, honest invitation to reclaim a few unhurried minutes for yourself.
Inside you'll discover:
- The orphan who wrote the world's first book on tea and became revered as a tea god
- The Japanese philosophy that finds beauty in a deliberately imperfect bowl
- Tea traditions from China, Japan, Russia, Morocco, and England, each with its own documented history
- A simple ten-minute ritual that requires no special equipment or formal ceremony
- Historical figures, a timeline, a glossary, and suggestions for further reading
Part of The Lost Art Series, each book stands completely on its own and can be enjoyed in any order.
