The Spirit of Tea Making by Margaret Ledoux Pdf

After years of travelling through Asia, Margaret Ledoux shares her experience of tea tasting. Taiwan, home to the finest quality oolong teas. Often known as 'grand cru' these teas are savoured and prized as if they were the best of wines. Margaret travelled extensively throughout Asia and has lived for extended periods in South Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines. It is in Taiwan that she discovered the delicate oolongs and grew to appreciate both their aroma and taste while realizing an accompanying sense of greater well being. An unmissable guide for all tea lovers. EXCERPT In both Britain and France, where I grew up, tea is a classic drink taken black or with milk and sugar or infused with different herbal flavours. An unforgettable four years in Taiwan introduced me to a different approach to tea and tea drinking that I would like to share with you. The tea ceremony of Japan is well known and appreciated for its precision and beauty of setting and movements—a far cry one might think from the more down-to-earth approach of the British cup of tea or the French herbal infusion. Yet the English, too, developed tea drinking as an important practice either to start the day well, or to calm the nerves after an upsetting experience, or to enjoy socialising in a relaxed and happy environment. In France, in my experience, tea is also considered more relaxing than coffee, to be preferred whenever a soothing beverage is more appropriate. REVIEWS “This is a treasure of a book and like... the tea tasting, is infused with grace, clarity, strength and beauty.” - Mary Chua, tea aficionado “I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Spirit of Tea Making. It made me want to board a plane for Taipei just to taste these wonderful teas that the author so obviously loves.” - Reni Singer, Publisher of Tahanan Books “Written with warmth and grace this little guide unites tea lovers across the globe in the simple enjoyment of Taiwan’s finest oolongs. A delightful read for all tea lovers.” - CD Hsu, Bao Cha Tea Boutique, Taipei, Taiwan.

The Spirit of Tea by Frank Murphy,Madison Cawein Pdf

"The Spirit of Tea" is a radical departure from all of the tea books on the market today. It touches upon tea's transcendental nature that no book has yet examined. While a lot is written about tea's healing benefits and curative properties, tea's more spiritual and mystical attributes gets little attention. The author was motivated to write this book because of the profound absence of information in this area. What is it that keeps us coming back to humanity's favorite beverage next to water. Forget about English tea, cucumber sandwiches and petite fours. You won't find them here because controversial aspects of tea's intrinsic qualities are discussed. Myths about tea are debunked while others are reanimated while the reader is also given practical information, including the history and characteristics, special properties and features of the sixclassical catagories of tea: White, Yellow, Green, Oolong, Black (or Red in China), and Puerh teas. All are explained in great detail with information their varieties, their traditions, the nature of each, brewing techniques, along with an fascinating narrative. (1166)

The Book of Tea by Kakuzo Okakura Pdf

This is the extended and annotated edition including * an extensive annotation of more than 10.000 words about the history and basics of Buddhism, written by Thomas William Rhys Davids The Book of Tea by Okakura Kakuzo (1906), is a long essay linking the role of tea (Teaism) to the aesthetic and cultural aspects of Japanese life. Addressed to a western audience, it was originally written in English and is one of the great English Tea classics. Okakura had been taught at a young age to speak English and was proficient at communicating his thoughts to the Western mind. In his book, he discusses such topics as Zen and Taoism, but also the secular aspects of tea and Japanese life. The book emphasizes how Teaism taught the Japanese many things; most importantly, simplicity. Kakuzō argues that this tea-induced simplicity affected art and architecture, and he was a long-time student of the visual arts. He ends the book with a chapter on Tea Masters, and spends some time talking about Sen no Rikyū and his contribution to the Japanese Tea Ceremony. (from wikipedia.com)
