Journal du Thé - Contemporary Tea Culture, Chapter 1

Journal du Thé
Contemporary Tea Culture

Journal du Thé (JdT) invites the reader to explore contemporary tea culture. Created and edited by Johanna Tagada and Tilmann S. Wendelstein, Journal du Thé wonders what is it that makes tea into this force which lets us slow down and grants serene moments to our lives. It is said, that what makes a teapot a teapot is the empty space inside. Likewise this publication sets out to explore space – in this case the space surrounding a cup of tea. With a curious and playful eye, Journal du Thé investigates the palette
 of cultures and feelings contained within tea practices and their power to overcome borders. For us, tea is a symbol of togetherness.
