tea ritual
Formal beverage preparation
A tea ritual is the ceremonial preparation and serving of tea, often with prescribed movements, utensils, and etiquette.
The Japanese tea ceremony is the most famous example, but many cultures have formalized ways of making and sharing tea.
More loosely, any personal routine around tea-making: My morning tea ritual helps me ease into the day.
