TEATRIP JAPAN invites you into the world of Japanese green tea. Tea is not just a drink here, but an expression of culture and mindfulness. For centuries, the tea ceremony has characterized Zen monasteries and is considered a moment of silence and respect.
The book traces the origins of this tradition, introduces tea farmers, traders and ceramic artists and highlights techniques such as the hand-rolling art of temomi. Photographs from Kagoshima, Uji and Shizuoka convey the atmosphere of the tea regions.
Readers are given an insight into tea varieties, production and preparation. Japanese green tea captivates with its delicate sweetness and fruity freshness - TEATRIP JAPAN is a visual and cultural homage to a centuries-old tradition.
