Description
At the 300-year-old Ippodo tea store in Kyoto, time passes at the gentle pace of green tea leaves brewing in a kyusu teapot. Written by the store’s current owner, Miyako Watanabe, Tales of Green Tea offers an account of everyday life at this beloved store, as well as the knowledge, encounters and discoveries that come with a life steeped in tea. Composed of short, evocative sections and chapters that engage the senses, the book is at times moving, nostalgic, funny and informative. From the historical origins of tea to modern-day tea commerce and culture, with many reminiscences in between, it explores the endless flow of topics and tales found in a simple cup of tea.
