Since tea was introduced from China in the 8th century, it has been developed in different ways and drinking tea is an important part of our life and culture in Japan. We enjoy it very much.
The Japanese tea ceremony has a little diffrent from the daily tea drinking.
The tea ceremony is called Sado in Japanese.
It is a ritual of preparing and serving Japanese green tea, called Matcha, together with traditional Japanese sweets to balance with the bitter taste of the tea.

The host of the ceremony always consider the guests with evry movement and gesture.
Preparing tea in the ceremony means pouring all one's attention into defined movements.
The whole process is not only about drinking tea, but also is about aesthetics, preparing a bowl of tea from your heart.
