Art of Tea Book

Got through the first few chapters and the way the ritual and discovery themes are woven together actually changed how I think about my own tea routine. It's a quick read but the impact part in the later chapters really stuck with me.

The founder's personal stories about building the business make this feel like a conversation rather than a textbook, and the chapters on ritual really changed how I approach my own tea practice. Finished it in two sittings because I kept wanting to see what came next.

I wasn’t expecting a business book to read like a memoir, but the chapters on Steve’s early tea-buying trips feel so vivid I could almost smell the fields. The way he ties each ritual to a lesson about building something meaningful kept me turning pages well past midnight.
