Art of Tea

A Journey of Ritual, Discovery, and Impact

By: Steve Schwartz

Narrated by: Jay Aaseng, Steve Schwartz

Have you ever wished the world would just stop for a minute?

What if it could?

As a teenager, Steve Schwartz lived in 24/7 survival mode, going hungry whenever he couldn’t find enough work to pay for a school lunch. At the age of eighteen, he nursed his dying mother through the final stages of terminal cancer.

His mother’s death launched him on a journey to the far reaches of the world, where he discovered a passion for the ancient, calming rituals of tea.

Fascinated by the craft, he voyaged with sages and tea gurus around the globe, sourcing in far-flung fields and developing award-winning blends along the way, turning that passion into world-renowned teas.

Join Steve, the founder of Art of Tea, as he reveals the surprising true story behind its international success. Learn how he grew a tiny tea concept into partnerships with brands like Wolfgang Puck, Caesars Palace, Disney, and Vera Wang, all through the timeless ritual of tea itself—and its mysterious ability to carve small pockets of peace into modern life.

Excellent relaxing book

I took this book out on a hike with me and it was the perfect companion. That said I wish there was a PDF that came with it for the steep times and the recipes. I have no objection to transcribing it, but it would have made a nice addition.

world and the geographical context thank's ... ok.

nice that it's a great world that was what I agreed with overall ..

An amazing book start to end

So inspirational! Thank you for sharing such valuable information. Inspired to become a master blender someday.

Just one big advertisement

very little information on tea. even less information about the ritual of differnt cultures. feels like an advertisement for the company written by the author during lockdowns.
