About the book
The Story of Japanese Tea
by Tyas Sōsen (Author)
The material for this book has accumulated over twelve years of active practice in Japan’s rite of tea of which the author has received full instructorship; two years of full-time employment at a traditional tea vendor in the heart of Uji, during which he studied for and passed the examination of the Nihoncha Instructor Association and received certification as accredited instructor; regular meetings with, and tea farm visits at the properties of skilled artisan tea manufacturers, encounters that have provided much insight in subjects as the struggles of tea farmers, the reality behind the manufacturing of tea, and the workings of the industry as a whole.
In addition, for the past four years, the author has devoted his life to discovering the essence of tea through curating a special selection of tea, repeatedly talking to and interviewing tea manufacturers, gathering insider information about the industry, etc. in order to truthfully and openly make this information available internationally.
The discoveries made, and the information gathered during such interactions is what constitutes the foundation for the material presented in this book, and it is with the wish to objectively portray what Japanese tea at its core and in essence is that this book has been brought to life.

When I wanted to learn about Japanese tea there was no resource available in English. Having learned everything I know now through the many years of study while in Japan, I basically wrote the book that I wanted to have when I came here many years ago.
And I wrote it for you, so that you wouldn’t have to go through the same struggles as me to begin learning about Japanese tea.
