Teatrip Japan invites readers into the captivating world of Japanese green tea. In Japan, tea is far more than a drink – it is a cultural expression, rooted in centuries of tradition. From the quiet rituals of Zen temples, once shared by monks and samurai alike, to the meditative art of preparing and savoring tea, it embodies mindfulness, respect, and inner calm.
The authors take you on a journey to the origins of this tradition, meeting tea farmers, merchants, and ceramic artisans whose devotion to tea began early in life and continues to shape their craft. Along the way, you’ll discover the subtle practice of temomi (hand-rolling tea leaves), insights into the tea ceremony, and atmospheric photography from Kagoshima, Uji, and Shizuoka – Japan’s most renowned tea regions.
Blending cultural history with sensory exploration, Teatrip Japan reveals the delicate sweetness and refreshing, fruity notes of Japanese green tea. A visual and cultural celebration, it is a heartfelt homage to one of Japan’s most enduring traditions.
