Zen and the art of tea-the classic book about the Japanese tea
ceremony that is as much a guide to life.
Ritualized, romantic, and historically rich, the tea ceremony is
the creation of something beautiful out of the everyday. Originally
written in English more than a hundred years ago to be read aloud
at Isabella Stewart Gardner's famous salon, "The Book of Tea"
presents the meeting of East and West in a teacup. It explores
Asian culture through the history and aestheticism-or "teaism"-of
the tea ceremony and also suggests a deep connection between beauty
and war, and between flowers and social mores. In its formality,
attention to detail, and celebration of beauty and harmony, the tea
ceremony encapsulates the Japanese view of life-in fact, the art of
life.
'Absorbing and sometimes shocking' - Literary Review 'A masterful
historical study' - The Good Book Guide Behind the wholesome image
of the world's most popular drink lies a strangely murky and often
violent past. From its first discovery to the present day, this is
an extraordinary story of a great world obsession. When tea began
to be imported into the West from China in the seventeenth century,
its high price and heavy taxes made it an immediate target for
smuggling and dispute at every level, culminating in international
incidents like the notorious Boston Tea Party. In China itself the
British financed their tea dealings by the ruthless imposition of
the opium trade. Intrepid British tea planters soon began flocking
to India, Ceylon and Africa, setting up huge plantations; often
workers were bought and sold like slaves. Roy Moxham's account of
this extraordinary history begins with his own sojourn in Africa,
managing 500 acres of tea and a thousand-strong workforce. His
experiences inform the book and led him to investigate the early
history of tea - and the results of his researches reflect little
credit on the British Empire, while often revealing a fascinating
world story.
