The Way of Tea: Reflections on a Life with Tea - Tapa dura

"[Aaron Fisher] shows readers how in the modern world the way of tea does not need to be some somber religious ceremony, but can instead be a path for anyone to experience and share inner peace, relax the ego, and be free and open." --Tea: A Magazine "A joyous book with a fan of elegant ink drawings and photographs, The Way of Tea is recommended for readers of philosophy and food writing." --ForeWord magazine

In today's busy world, the lives of ancient tea masters, living in mountainside huts and picking tea leaves fresh off wild plants, may seem so inapplicable to our hectic lives as to be for our purposes mere myths. "The Way of Tea" shows modern readers how you can bring this serenity to your daily life. You don't need a mountainside hut or hours for endless contemplation; just a few quiet moments with a steaming cup of your favourite tea. Aaron Fisher, noted tea expert and author, shows readers how in the modern world the way of tea does not need to be some sombre religious ceremony held in dimly lit halls by a bunch of solemn monks chanting between sips, but can instead be a path for anyone to experience and share inner peace, relax the ego, and be free and open-an excellent recipe for a life well lived.
