What is the tea ceremony ?

The Japanese tea ceremony is called Chanoyu, Sado or simply Ocha in Japanese. It is a choreographic ritual of preparing and serving Japanese green tea, called Matcha, together with traditional Japanese sweets to balance with the bitter taste of the tea. Preparing tea in this ceremony means pouring all one's attention into the predefined movements. The whole process is not about drinking tea, but is about aesthetics, preparing a bowl of tea from one's heart. The host of the ceremony always considers the guests with every movement and gesture. Even the placement of the tea utensils is considered from the guests view point (angle), especially the main guests called the Shokyaku.

The moon not glimpsed through rifts in clouds holds no interest

Bright full moon that was the symbol of enlightenment in many Buddhist traditions wasn’t elegant or expressive as the partially obscured moon. That we find perfection in imperfect, embrace the discordance in life to achieve concordance, and so on.

Tea Time

Tea Bird in Bristol Afternoon tea is the first experience in my life. We have a cafe and teashop in Japan. But if you want to enjoy Afternoon tea, you have to go to Hotel’s restaurant. It’s so expensive. But in UK which is not so expensive. And we can go more easily. It is different between Japan and English. I saw cake tower first time. Sandwiches, a scone and a cupcake on each plate. At the beginning I enjoyed tea which is Classic Earl gray tea. After I eat sandwiches, a scone and a cupcake. I tried the top of stuff. But friends teach me how to eat the cake tower. I wanted to eat cup cake, but I have to eat sandwiches at first...
