tea ceremonies
Formal brewing rituals
Tea ceremonies are formal rituals for preparing and serving tea, most associated with Japanese tradition where the practice embodies aesthetic and spiritual principles—harmony, respect, purity, tranquility.
The ceremony involves precise movements, specialized utensils, and attention to setting.
By extension, any elaborate or ritualized tea service: The afternoon tea ceremony at the hotel felt like stepping back in time.
