“Buddhism and the Invention of Tea Culture in Tang Dynasty China (618–907 CE)”

 

“The dramatic change in Chinese drinking habits that occurred in the 8th century CE cannot be understood without considering the crucial role of Buddhist ideas, institutions, and individuals in creating a new culture around the consumption of tea. This lecture looks closely at the surviving artistic, material, and literary evidence for Buddhist involvement in the invention of a Chinese tea culture during the Tang dynasty.”
