favorite passages from the book of tea

                             


My last book of 2008, first of 2009, was a longtime favorite of mine and a philosophical classic, The Book of Tea. If you’re not familiar with it, it was published in 1906, written by art historian and curator Kakuzo Okakura. And as you can see from these passages — as with the tea ceremony itself — it's about far more than tea.
