The original 1906 edition with a new chapter describing the American love for Japanese teas in the late 1800's. A book for tea lovers and artists alike, one of the most influential works ever written. Okakura Kakuzo masterfully blends the history of tea, tea ceremony, tearoom, flower arranging, architecture, and art appreciation. Those who appreciate the greatness of small things will fall in love with the book, just as F.L. Wright, Georgia O'Keefe, and others did a century ago.

  • Insights into how Okakura's philosophy continues to inspire tea culture today

Afternoon Tea Serenade

Cookbook is excellent .

content should be more inclusive

title is very general, leading one to expect
a more comprehensive treatment.
(retired professor) Information is somewhat
dated; no treatment of recent herbal teas on
the market. Good for historical background.
