The teahouse hums with activity, but each movement is deliberate and every cup a small ritual.   In Tales of Green Tea, Miyako Watanabe, current owner of the 300-year-old tea house, shares moments, encounters and discoveries from a life shaped by tea and tradition.    Following the journey of the leaf - from misty fields where it is grown and hand-picked to the serenity of tea ceremony - Watanabe explores tea's history alongside its place in contemporary culture. The result is a gentle meditation on how a simple cup can hold memory, season and place. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56367987753333,"sku":"9780349447193","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780349447193.jpg?v=1774537647","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780349447193","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
