Beyond The Tea Leaf: A Conversation With Tea Author Linda Hewitt

For our first episode of Talking Tea, we chat via Skype with Linda Hewitt, author of The Japanese Tea Ceremony And The Shoguns and other works on tea history and customs. Linda shares her reflections on how tea, and the rituals surrounding it, create much-needed space for relationship-building and contemplation.  The Japanese Tea Ceremony And The Shoguns by Linda Hewitt is available as an audiobook, ebook and trade paperback through Amazon.com.
