Hello! I am a student at the University of Washington studying
Chado. I want to write a paper on comparing and contrasting Korean,
Japanese and Chinese tea ceremonies but am having trouble locating
books for Korean tea.

Please post titles and authors if you know of any good books! Also, I
am not at all knowledgeable about tea so easy-reads are preferred
although any help is appreciated! =]

Thank you

If you are searching for "Chado" to find Korean tea ceremony that will
be the first issue, try searching and reading up on "Panyaro." It will
be a tough find but ISBN: 8991913172 (The Korean Way of Tea) may be
all you need. Also a good jumping off point: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_tea_ceremony

Korean tea is comprised mainly of greens and some Oolongs and as for
my close Korean friends only greens.

I am rather unhappy that all that searching did not apparently lead to
my quite well developed Korean Way of Tea pages (index at
http://hompi.sogang.ac.kr/anthony/kortea.htm ) where the top item is
the book which I and a friend who is Korean tea master published last
year in Seoul: "The Korean Way of Tea" (Seoul Selection, Seoul, 2007
see http://www.seoulselection.com/ ). This is the only book written
in English devoted to Korean green tea, so far as I know, and it
covers the drying as well as the brewing processes. In addition, I
provide translations of some Korean tea poems, summarize the history
of tea in both China and in Korea, and evoke the arrival of tea in
Europe before concluding on some thoughts as to the relevance of the
"Korean Way of Tea" in today's world.

Most of the contents of the book are taken from my home page (the East
Tea and Wikipedia descriptions of Panyaro are taken from there).

Hello,

Actually my initial reply lists it "ISBN: 8991913172 (The Korean Way
of Tea) may be
all you need." and as I had stated it is most likely all one would
need for a basic paper that requires only a couple sources. I own your
book and it is an enjoyable read, a number of my Korean friends have
borrowed it. It's a pleasure to know you hang around here... and any
and all Korean tea info and talk would be welcome as it is an area not
much discussed here.

Hello Sonjae,

Thank you for your help! Why do you think Korean 'tea performance' is
beginning to have formalized serving of tea? (what do you think this
says about today's Korean culture). What is tea music?

Also, I would like to know more about you. Are you a tea master?
Where do you get your ideas, etc?

Thanks :)

The development of what I call 'performance tea' in Korea might
possibly be inspired in part by recent Japanese examples of tea
ceremony done in a public setting (international gatherings, cultural
festivals etc) instead of a tiny temple tea-room, I do not know.
Certainly Chae Won-Hwa, the head of the Panyaro Institute and the
inheritor of the Ven Hyodang's tea tradition, has always included an
'on-stage' presentation of the formalized 'tea ceremony' she teaches
in the final graduation ceremonies, first done by those who are
graduating, then in a more intensely meditative manner by herself
alone. This last was really impressive, the more so for being at the
time (10 years ago) quite unique.

Does anyone know about Korean tea houses. What activities go on
