This thesis examines the globalization of green tea from Japan. It traces green tea's evolution from a tool in Buddhist rituals to a globally consumed commodity. The document provides background on the Japanese tea tradition of sado and how it shaped national identity. It explores how green tea has adapted over time through mechanized production and new forms of consumption worldwide. The thesis will analyze how cultural capital survives globalization, along with issues that emerge from a commodity's success on a global scale, like social, environmental, and economic conflicts.
