It examines how tea has shaped poetry, philosophy, and social rituals, from the reflective verses of Chinese poets in the Tang and Ming Dynasties to the elegance and etiquette of Victorian tea culture. The book delves into the symbolism and meditative qualities of tea in Zen Buddhism and Japanese tea ceremonies, the socio-political role of tea in colonial India, and its influence on the Modernist movement. Through detailed analyses, it reveals how tea serves as a metaphor for contemplation, connection, and cultural identity in literary works.
