The Teas That Bind

The Teas That Bind is the first book from J. C. Greenway, an English writer based in Japan. It is a collection of posts first written for the website ten minutes hate about life in Japan before and since the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011. It also includes a selection of emails, status updates and tweets from the days after the disaster and the following year, covering the writer's involvement in fundraising and volunteering efforts - along with plenty of new material - in an attempt to answer the question, 'what was it like?'
