The Japanese tea ceremony  is a practice that delights the senses, calms the mind, and refreshes the spirit. This is the book that introduced America to the beauty of this ancient tradition. Okakura invites us to explore the way of tea, along with the culture and aesthetic that have grown around it, from its beginnings in Taoism to its acceptance into the Zen tradition as a true meditative discipline. 144 pages, 4 1/4 x 6 3/4, hardcover.

As you ponder the subtle glories of the way of tea, you can now sip an exquisite brew created in honor of and named for the author of The Book of Tea by the experts at San Francisco's legendary Samovar Tea Lounge. Okakura Ryokucha is a delightful mix of  green Japanese matcha powder, blended with roasted brown rice and sencha. It's both nutty and grassy, and hearty enough, its fans claim, to serve as a meal in itself. 4.5 oz.
