An edition of Tea of the Sages (1998)

Tea of the sages

the art of sencha

The Japanese tea ceremony is generally identified with chanoyu and its bowls of whipped, powdered green tea served in surroundings influenced by the tenets of Zen Buddhism. Tea of the Sages is the first English-language study of the alternate tea tradition of sencha. At sencha tea gatherings, steeped green leaf tea is prepared in an atmosphere indebted to the humanistic values of the Chinese sages and the materialistic culture of elite Chinese society during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

This exceptionally well-illustrated volume explores sencha's philosophy and arts from the seventeenth century to the present.
