An illustrated work of lyric poetry and prose on drinking green tea as a meditation.An Homage to Green Tea is an illustrated collection of poetry and prose on the beneficence of green tea, and ways to experience that beneficence. It collects two works of classical Korean literature into a single volume.
A Poem for Green Tea is a long poem that includes short-short stories, legends, anecdotes, other related poems, excerpts from reference books about green tea, religious and spiritual (Buddhist/Taoist) writing, and Ch'oŭi's notes to the poem. Taken as a whole, the poem seeks to authenticate the value of Korean green tea relative to Chinese green tea in a pleasing, aesthetic manner. A Poem for Green Tea ends with an epilogue poem in praise of Ch'oŭi's unparalleled green tea.
The Divine Life of Tea is a collection of instructions on how to arrive at the best cup of green tea. It begins with superb locations for the cultivation of green tea, when to pick the leaves, how to prepare and store leaves, ideal types of water, grades of boiling water, the utensils to use in preparation of a cup of green tea, and the type of company one should keep--a list by no means comprehensive. The Divine Life of Tea ends with an epilogue by Ch'oŭi, describing his purpose and efforts in writing the manuscript.
