林清玄《茶味禪心》一書，計26篇，內容結合「文學與佛學」，採故事形式，陳述他的感受與理念。林清玄的茶學專著並不多，除了《茶言觀色》一書外，想瞭解他的茶學涵養，此書相當重要。作者對於他的茶學涵養與人生境界，頗為自信，尤其在茶禪結合的體悟層面，更是如此。不過，對於他的高度自信，學者也有所質疑，陳淑美即認為書中的茶禪體悟缺乏理性思維的深度，僅止於「口頭禪」。因此，探討此書的茶學內涵及其評價，乃本文的撰寫緣由。本文內容主要分為兩部份：其一，探討此書的茶學內涵，分茶禪、評茶、茶藝等三個範疇。其二，分析林清玄在此書中呈現的思維特色及其人格特質。

”The Taste of Tea and The Heart of Zen”, written by Lin Cing-Syuan in story format, containing 26 articles which states his experience as well as his thoughts, is a combination of Literature and Buddhism. Lin's professional works related to tea studies are not many. Therefore, ”The Taste of Tea and The Heart of Zen” is very important for us to know his cultivation of tea studies. Lin has strong confidence in both connotation of tea studies and the state of his life, in the comprehensive perspective of the combination of tea and Zen especially. Although Lin is highly self-confident, some scholars are skeptical about his confident assertions. Take Cheng Shu-Mei for example, she thinks the comprehension of tea and Zen in this book lacks the depth of rational thinking. That is why I wrote this essay to discuss this book and its evaluation.This essay includes two parts: First, we discuss the connotation of tea studies that consists of tea and Zen, evaluating tea, and arts of tea. Second, we analyze the characteristics of thinking and Lin's traits that is shown in ”The Taste of Tea and The Heart of Zen”.
