Book excerpt: For more than 25 years Noriko Morishita studied and practised the intricate ceremonies of the famous Way of Tea, attempting to learn its complexities and achieve a perfection of movement and mood that few can master. In The Wisdom of Tea Noriko describes her gradual discovery of freedom and insight within the very rules that once seemed so constricting. Looking back across her life, Noriko illuminates the real teachings of the Way of Tea: to live absolutely in the moment, to notice and delight in the smallest of details, to embrace the vital skills of patience and perseverance, and to allow yourself to be. The Wisdom of Tea is a distillation of the life lessons Noriko learned through many seasons, spanning girlhood to adulthood. It is a wise and inspiring book that reveals the lasting relevance of an ancient ceremony.

Book excerpt: There are times that we need some answers to the problems that arise in our lives and we need those answers right away. Wisdom Tea was born out of those situations that accrued in my own life. Life comes with a lot of twist and turns as well as detours that you may encounter on a daily basis and Wisdom Tea can help you look at your situation on a different level. I’ve come to realize that people, places, and things can have lasting effects on your life; if you don’t look to God first for the answers you so desperately need, you can become stuck and never find your way out. Wisdom Tea gives you analogies and earthly situations with a heavenly direction to help you in the victories in your life. Its titles are catchy, with food for thought attached. God wants you to be blessed and move forward toward the destiny that he has in store for you and your family. What better way to know how to get there than by exercising the wisdom he so graciously wants to give to us; all we have to do is ask. God has blessed me with a gift to look at life from different perspectives by applying analogies to my situations, a gift that has helped me tremendously in receiving the victories in my life. By reading Wisdom Tea on a daily basis and writing down your thoughts on the journal pages provided for you in each chapter, you may gain an understanding of your situation and see how God can bring you into your victories.

Book excerpt: This modern classic invites the reader to discover a unique tradition that has come to symbolize the wisdom, beauty, and the elegant simplicity of Asian culture. The author celebrates the Way of Tea from its ancient origins in Chinese Taoism to its culmination in the Zen discipline known as the Japanese tea ceremony—an enchanting practice bringing together such arts as architecture, pottery, and flower arranging to create an experience that delights the senses, calms the mind, and refreshes the spirit. Tea was first used as a medicine and an alchemical elixir by the ancient Chinese Taoists, who praised its spiritual powers. Buddhist monks made drinking tea part of a tradition honoring the founder of Zen; this ritual was later refined in the performance of the Japanese tea ceremony as a meditative practice. The Book of Tea describes the rich aesthetic of Asian culture through the history, philosophy, and practice of brewing and drinking tea. This edition contains an introduction by Sam Hamill that provides historical insight into the significance of the tea ceremony within Zen Buddhism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ancient Art of Tea is a delightful look at the philosophy, history, and culture of tea in China. The health benefits of tea, whether white, green, oolong or black, are well known in our world today. However, creating the perfect, healthy cup of tea is a process few people genuinely understand. As expert Warren Peltier explains, making an ideal cup of tea is a dynamic process that requires the right environment, clear spring water, a suitable fire to boil water, skill in steeping tea, and a deep understanding of tea connoisseurship. The Ancient Art of Tea offers a thorough, much-needed guide for tea lovers. Peltier's commentaries include discussion of: Zhang You Xin's Chronicle on Water for Brewing Tea. Xu Ci Shu's Discourse on Fire. Lu Yu's Description of the "Three Boils." Chen Ji Ru on the Merits of Tasting Tea with Company. Gu Yuan Qing's Eight Requisites for Tasting Tea. The Ancient Art of Tea parses historic tea texts to offer a broader perspective and deeper insight into the topics that surround the tea-drinking experience. The book contains vital information to assist tea drinkers in their quest for yet another pot of delicious tea. It teaches the two fundamental secrets to tea as practiced in ancient China--technique and taste. These exemplify some of the basic concepts of the philosophy of tea, which greatly enhances the enjoyment of the beverage. Not only an exhaustive source of tea knowledge, The Ancient Art of Tea is also a significant volume in the study of Chinese tea and is sure to become a classic in its own right.
