As she explored the legacy of tea, she uncovered not only its healing mysteries but also the dark secrets that have overshadowed this ancient brew.

In THE WAY OF TEA AND JUSTICE, Becca draws readers into the world of tea-making, as she works with cooperatives and coalitions across the globe to ensure fair trade and community enhancement in every cup of tea the caf brews. But beneath the beauty of the tea ritual, she found an underbelly of corruption, abuse, and extortion that plagues laborers in the tea industry. True to her nature as an activist and a storyteller, she recounts stories of triumph for impoverished tea pickers and the tales of struggle and hope that have poured in with...

Praise for
The Way of Tea and Justice

If you have not already met Becca Stevens of Thistle Farms fame, its time you had the pleasure, and heres your chance. Just look how she shares tea and happinessisnt she wonderful?

James Norwood Pratt, Americas tea sage, author of James Norwood Pratts Tea Dictionary

Becca Stevens is a force of natureboth as a speaker and with her words on the page. Her message always gets right to the heart of the matter.

John Prine, songwriter

[Women served by Thistle Farms] would be dead by now if it werent for a remarkable initiative by the Rev. Becca Stevens to help women escape trafficking and prostitution.

Nicholas Kristof, New York Times

With her characteristic warmth, wisdom, and insight, Becca Stevens opens up the strange and fascinating world of tea, masterfully stitching together stories about mindfulness, justice, healing, and community. Few writers exhibit such a remarkable ability to bring faith to life in the very world we can see, touch, taste, smell, and feel. Every word of this delightful, instructive book tastes like sacrament.

Find Your Way Home:
Words from the Street, Wisdom from the Heart

This book is dedicated to my sons in gratitude for all the truth they have taught me. These words are a prayer that the way of tea can offer you a place to center yourselves in the craziness of this life. I love you, Levi, Caney, and Moses.

Mom

This book is also offered in memory of Katie Stevens Garrett and Lisa Granoien Froeb.

Tea is an invitation to take refuge

from the violence and vulnerability

poured out by the world.

She shelters us in leaves

steeped to soothe souls

with warm kisses.

Her aroma cradles us in

timeless dreams.

She is the ancient of days,

born by the tree of life.

She dined with Eve as the first sun set.

She is the harbinger of truth

whose hand-picked leaves

teach us how injustice is fed

on the bosom of poverty.

She is wisdom that incites

revolution and draws

enemies to treaties.

She has been worshiped

in rites that have bound and

freed generations.

She is universal,

born from a single leaf.

Her haloed cup is a sanctuary

for our thirst that longs

to love tenderly

with revived hearts.

Becca Stevens

F IRST, AN EXPLANATION OF the recipes used at the beginning of each chapter: Acquiring all the ingredients to blend your own tea isnt easy but is well worth the effort. The blends and brands highlighted are well-known recipes offered by connoisseurs and pilgrims who have traveled far and wide to learn about taste and healing properties. They come from a variety of suppliers who specialize in a range of teas. Some of the teas highlighted are specifically selected because of their commitment not only to taste but also to the justice offered in the leaves to the people and land that grow them. You can find most of these blends at the places listed in this book and in books such as
