A patron is interested in literature or travelogues that include any references to a teahouse, especially central Asian and Middle Eastern teahouses. Does anyone know of an online concordance(r) that might be of assistance?

Thank you for your help.

Not precisely what you're asking, but "Thousand Cranes" by Yasunari
Kawabata (1968 Nobel Prize winner) -- the dramatic events of this story
are set against the rites & symbols of the tea ceremony.

To celebrate their second full week since they'd met Robbie took
Lucretia to the Luk Yu Teahouse on a steep street above Queen's Road
Central. Luk Yu was China's legendary God of Tea. He had discovered the
bushes from whose leaves he, first of all mortals, infused a heavenly
beverage. p58

from Last year in Hong Kong by Robert Elegant, 1997

Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden is an obvious choice.

There is both a play and a novel, Teahouse of the August Moon. Play by John
Patrick Goggin, novel by Vern Sneider. I think I remember this title from
the 50's because it was also a movie with Marlon Brando.

This isn't an online concordance, but Egyptian Nobel Prize-winner Naguib
Mahfouz sets a lot of scenes in his books in Egyptian tea/coffee houses.
