Brewing a cup of tea can lead to a variety of exciting magical practices, and Tea Magic is the perfect, gorgeously illustrated guide. A steaming cup of tea can be the perfect source of comfort on a brisk fall day—and, as Chloé Zarka Grinsnir #39;s fascinating book reveals, it is also a potent form of magic that can be effortlessly used to add magic to day-to-day life. Little things done with intent can have great power, and the ritual of tea drinking itself can bring strength during difficult times, energize ordinary tasks with positivity when a new opportunity arises, or provide a deep and necessary connection to intuition in situations that may seem unclear. Tea Magic is beautifully decorated with illustrations of gorgeous tea cups, colorful teas, and the kinds of magical details that have made Chloé #39;s art so popular online. But more than that, it #39;s a thoughtful resource that covers topics such as the energetic correspondences of different kinds of teas and herbs, as well as the properties of accoutrements such as fruits, sweeteners, and milks. Optimal conditions for drying tea leaves and herbs for magical teas are covered, as well as unique practices such as using moon water in teas—and, of course, tasseomancy, or reading tea leaves for divination. Tea Magic is an essential, easy-to-use resource for anyone who would like to add tea to their spellwork, and a perfect gift for all kinds of tea lovers, even those who don #39;t yet have a magical practice.

The Book of Tea: Japanese Tea Ceremonies and Culture - Kakuzó Okakura

‘Tea began as a medicine and grew into a beverage,’ are the opening words of Okakura Kakuzo’s The Book of Tea, written in English in 1906 for a Western audience. The book is a long essay celebrating the secular art of the Japanese tea ceremony and linking its importance with Zen Buddhism and Taoism. It is both about cultural life, aesthetics and philosophy, emphasising how Teaism – a term Kakuzo coined – taught the Japanese many things; most importantly, simplicity, which can be seen in Japanese art and architecture.Looking back at the evolution of the Japanese tea ceremony, Kakuzo argues that Teaism, in itself, is one of the profound universal remedies that two parties could sit down to. Where the West had scoffed at Eastern religion and morals, it held Eastern tea ceremonies in high regard. With a new introduction, this is an exquisitely produced edition of a classic text made using traditional Chinese bookbinding techniques.Surely it’s time for tea.

This edition has an afterword by Anna Sherman and delightful illustrations by Sayuri Romei.This short book, written in English by a Japanese scholar and artist, was first published in 1906 at a time when Japan was opening up to Western culture. In response to that, Okakura Kakuzo set out to explain the beauty and simplicity of Japanese daily life which was greatly inspired by teaism. He describes in detail the different aspects of the tea ceremony, how it was founded, the role of the tea masters, the architecture of the tea-room and the stages of making and serving the tea. He then goes on to explain the connection between Taoism and Zennism with tea and he also writes chapters on art appreciation and the art of flower arranging.

The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane - Lisa See

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa See, “one of those special writers capable of delivering both poetry and plot” (The New York Times Book Review), a moving novel about tradition, tea farming, and the bonds between mothers and daughters.In their remote mountain village, Li-yan and her family align their lives around the seasons and the farming of tea. For the Akha people, ensconced in ritual and routine, life goes on as it has for generations—until a stranger appears at the village gate in a jeep, the first automobile any of the villagers has ever seen. The stranger’s arrival marks the first entrance of the modern world in the lives of the Akha people. Slowly, Li-yan, one of the few educated girls on her mountain, begins to reject the customs that shaped her early life. When she has a baby out of wedlock—conceived with a man her parents consider a poor choice—she rejects the tradition that would compel her to give the child over to be killed, and instead leaves her, wrapped in a blanket with a tea cake tucked in its folds, near an orphanage in a nearby city. As Li-yan comes into herself, leaving her insular village for an education, a business, and city life, her daughter, Haley, is raised in California by loving adoptive parents. Despite her privileged childhood, Haley wonders about her origins. Across the ocean Li-yan longs for her lost daughter. Over the course of years, each searches for meaning in the study of Pu’er, the tea that has shaped their family’s destiny for centuries. A powerful story about circumstances, culture, and distance, The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane paints an unforgettable portrait of a little known region and its people and celebrates the bond of family.

Chigusa and the Art of Tea - Louise Allison Cort, Andrew M. Watsky

This innovative book narrates the history of a single objectâ ”a tea-leaf storage jar created in southern China during the thirteenth or fourteenth centuriesâ ”and describes how its role changed after it was imported to Japan and passed from owner to owner there. In Japan, where the jar was in constant use for more than seven hundred years, it was transformed from a humble vessel into a celebrated object used in chanoyu (often translated in English as tea ceremony), renowned for its aesthetic and functional qualities, and awarded the name Chigusa.Few extant tea utensils possess the quantity and quality of the accessories associated with Chigusa, material that enables modern scholars and tea aficionados to trace the jarâ ™s evolving history of ownership and appreciation. Tea diaries indicate that the lavish accessoriesâ ”the silk net bag, cover, and cordsâ ”that still accompany the jar were prepared in the early sixteenth century by its first recorded owner.
