TEA

The Tea Ceremony Kit . . . . . . . $30
With its emphasis on ritual and aesthetics, the ceremonial presentation of tea provides a fascinating introduction to many aspects of Japanese culture. This beautifully designed kit contains The Book of Tea by Japanese scholar Okakura Kakuzo plus utensils to use in recreating the tea ceremony at home: a traditional bowl and split bamboo whisk. Although this type of tea is not considered a sushi accompaniment it's a wonderful way to get in touch with life's pure and simple pleasures and to learn to savor a bowl of tea in the most eloquent way.
