| Description | There are certain marks indicating some relation between the tea culture and popularity of tearooms and New Age in the Czech Republic. In this article I explore some aspects of this relation. I analyse the serial Tea Pilgrimages in the New Age journal Dotek and compare its attitude to tea with the attitude of customers of tearooms in Brno. These customers filled in a questionnaire designed on the basis of statements in Tea Pilgrimages, my concept of New Age and a presumption that New Agers belong to rapidly growing categories of others and without confession in Czech censuses. |
