Features: Half-lit light, the mellow sound of Buddhist chants in a bookhouse, an antique wooden table, a cup of fragrant tea, the misty steam rising, and a subtle aroma. To smell, sip, and savor again and again until the sweet aftertaste reaches the throat and the mind becomes clear and refreshed. To steal half a day from the fleeting life to savor such a lifestyle—how often can one have such an opportunity in a lifetime? This book discards traditional theoretical teachings, using a light and natural writing style and casual, tea and Zen stories to explain the ancient proposition of "tea and Zen are one" to readers. The book includes topics such as tea drinking and meditation, the mellow charm of tea, the bond between tea and Zen, a moment of Zen heart, famous people talking about Zen, and tea and Zen in poetry. Through the clever combination of classic stories, beautiful writings by renowned authors, and tea and Zen poetry, readers can naturally grasp the true meaning of "tea and Zen are one."
