Japanese tea ceremony
Zen tea ritual
A Japanese tea ceremony is a ritualized preparation and presentation of powdered green tea, emphasizing aesthetics, mindfulness, and respect between host and guest.
The practice involves prescribed movements, specialized utensils, and careful attention to setting: We attended a traditional Japanese tea ceremony in Kyoto.
The ceremony embodies principles of harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility central to Zen Buddhism.
