Default Korean, Japanese, Chinese Tea Ceremonies

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.

P.S. Even though it isn't necessary for your paper, you may be very
well served by finding a local tea shop or location where you can
experience the real thing in person regardless of what country of
origin. Also Okakura's The Book of Tea is a foundational book and
available cheaply or free online. Youtube is also a friend for
watching it be performed to some extent.
