Art of Tea: A Journey of Ritual, Discovery, and Impact

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 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.
