This small book is not about tea per se although there is a bit of history about the use of tea. Instead it is a book on the philosophy of "Teaism" and the practices of tea masters with regards to aesthetics and life practices. It includes the connections between Teaism and Zen, Taoism, architecture, garden design, and floral arranging. Interesting, especially for those who study Asian religions. Don't pick this up looking for a reference on varieties and uses of tea.
