The Book of Tea is one of the most beautiful essays on the world of this drink. It is a compilation of the poems that are inscribed on the sliding doors of the Konnichi-an temple in Kyoto.
“Tea is a work of art” and as such, you could say, there is really no single recipe to make a perfect one. In this book you will find curious things like that tea bags were a New York invention in 1908; that yerba mate, its rutabaga mate, and the way of drinking it is much more than a drink.
