Teaching Tea
Culture, History, Practice, Art
The Teaching Tea: Culture, History, Practice, Art project is focused on the creation of accessible, multidisciplinary teaching resources on tea culture, history, practice, and art in Japan. Through the contributions of diverse scholars and tea practitioners, we aim to provide clear and convenient, peer-reviewed lesson plans and resources to improve the depth, breadth, and quality of higher education pedagogy on chanoyu (literally "hot water for tea" chanoyu is best translated as Japanese "tea culture" while "tea ceremony" is the most widely used translation). As Teaching Tea develops, it will host high quality photographs, videos, essays, lesson plans, and more. Our flagship event in support of these goals was an international symposium that took place April 27–28, 2024.
