What
is Tea Ceremony?
The tea ceremony (Sado) is an aesthetic pastime
unique of Japan of preparing and drinking tea. The
custom has been strongly influenced by Zen Buddhism
in the aim to purify the soul by becoming one with
nature. The ceremony itself consists of many rituals
that have to be learned by heart. Almost each hand
movement is prescribed. Basically, the tea is first
prepared by the host and then drunken by the guest.
The tea is bitter matcha (green tea) made of powdered
tea leaves.
