Buy NowTea of the Sages provides the definitive English-language history of sencha, the steeped green-leaf tea that defines a unique pillar of Japanese culture. While the world often focuses on the powdered tea ceremony (chanoyu), this book explores the 'alternate' tea path introduced by 17th-century Chinese monks.
Championed by scholars as the drink of ancient sages, sencha sparked a creative revolution, influencing everything from Zen philosophy and poetry to the intricate arts of ceramics and bamboo basketry. From its origins as an elite intellectual pursuit to its status as a modern global staple, this guide reveals the rich heritage of a tradition that still thrives in over 100 schools today.
