The Book Of Japanese Tea Review 茶の本 岡倉覚三 大川裕弘

It’s pretty hard to beat the soothing taste of a nicely brewed pot of aromatic green tea served cold in the heat of summer, or a hot one that warms you up in winter. Perhaps it’s an acquire taste, but I’ve definitely learned to appreciate it over my years of stay in Japan after been introduced to really tasty green tea by my Japanese friends.

This pocket sized photo book published by PIE explores the Japanese philosophies behind Sado ( 茶道 – The Way Of The Tea ), complemented by the most gorgeous pictures taken by photographer Yasuhiro Ookawa (大川裕弘).

Even if you don’t understand Japanese, the minimalist, zen-like photography style of the pictures featured in the book still makes for a very enjoyable read, and it’s certainly the highlight of the book for me. Recommended.

I too have come to appreciate the pleasures of a nice cup of well brewed green tea. I’ve been exploring this a bit during my covid-enforced stay at home. I have gone out on my trips to the local well-stocked super market and picked up a couple of varieties of loose leaf green tea (some with macha, some with macha and roasted rice, etc.). It’s all lovely. The only sticking point is the quick 30 second brewing time which is so much shorter than the Irish breakfast tea I would otherwise occasionally drink (I’m a coffee guy at heart).

In any case, lovely photos in this book. It’s definitely a kind of art of living thing, good tea (and coffee) drinking.
