What is the proper way for Japanese tea ceremony?
I'm getting a japenese tea set, why not learn this, I thought.
There ♡ few steps you can learn in a "traditional tea ceremony. Is this what you meant? If so, check out these sites, which could be useful to explain: http://www.kato3.org/chanoyu/guest.html http://www.kato3.org/chanoyu/equip.html http:// www. kato3.org/chanoyu/index.htm www.kato3.org/chanoyu/hostthin.html For more information, check here: http://www.bookmice.net/darkchilde/japan/jtea.html Hope this helps! I live in Japan and one of my favorite things is the traditional Japanese tea, 'Match'! This is an absolutely wonderful experience. To be honest, the only thing hard on the tea ceremony for me is sitting in "seiza" for extended periods of time. I hope you enjoy your game and learn about tea the Japanese tea ceremony. ♡ ☆ ☆ EDIT: I misunderstood the question? You asked about the proper way ☆ 'for Japanese ceremony tea, so I hope this is the answer you were looking for? If not, and just want to rest 'regular' green tea, it's easy! I do it every day! Most important tip: Never over BREW! Green tea only takes 1 to two minutes from time brewing in the most (depending on type of tea and personal preference of the drinker of tea). Leaving the brewing of green tea for too long, will become RE bitter. Finally, green tea leaves can be-used! In fact, some people believe that the brewing second is better than the first! Green Tea good will provide at least three infusions. Just keep in mind that with each successive infusion, water must remain in contact with the road 20 seconds longer than the infusion prev. Do not use boiling water, tea ruins in my opinion. http://japanesefood.about.com/od/greentea/ht/ht_greentea.htm

The Japanese tea ceremony is a traditional ritual influenced by Zen Buddhism in which the matcha green tea, known is prepared and served ceremoniously by a qualified practitioner in a small group of guests in a peaceful environment as a tea house garden. Chanoyu which means "water hot tea "refers to a single ceremony that involves tea, while the version known as Chaja" tea meeting " implies a full tea ceremony in which a light meal is served and can last up to four hours. Mastering the art of ceremony Tea includes years of study that can last a lifetime, because the student must be familiar with several disciplines such as flower arranging, calligraphy, ceramics, incense, and the proper technique for wear kimonos. Guests participating in the ritual must be aware of good conduct in the use of certain expressions and actions necessary to maintain the integrity of the ceremony.
If the tea must be served in a tea room guests must be included in a waiting room called Machias, which is usually separate structure like a gazebo simple. After being summoned by the host, they purify themselves by rinsing the mouth and hands with water from a small stone basin known as Tsukuba, and then continue through the garden of the teahouse. Remove their shoes they carry a small sliding door that is thirty-six inches tall, symbolizing that all who enter are equal regardless of size status or social position. The roomis undecorated except a scroll painting called kakemono, who was chosen by the host and reveals the theme of the ceremony. The Buddhist Scriptures the parchment is called bokuseki (ink traces) and is admired by every guest in turn before being seated seiza style on the ground tatami.
If a meal is not served the facilitator will present each guest with a sweet eating from special paper called kaishi that each person is carrier in a portfolio of decorative Nestled in the bosom of the kimono. All the utensils to be used in the ceremony as a tea bowl, scoop tea, and whisk are ritually purified in the presence of guests in a precise manner and order before meticulously arranged according to the ritual performed. After cleaning and preparing the utensils, the host will spend some carefully measured powdered green tea into a bowl with the appropriate amount of hot water, then whisk the tea using a specific set of movements. Guests relax and enjoy the atmosphere of simple and conversation is kept to a minimum. The host is then used to bowl the guest of honor, the arcs are exchanged, and the bowl is raised to the host in a gesture of respect. The bowl was then rotated by the patient to avoid drinking from before it a draft decision is followed by a statement prescribed, the rim of the bowl is wiped and then returned to its original position, and is then passed on the next customer with a bow. The protocol is repeated until all guests have tasted the tea in the same dish, and it is then returned to the host who rinses. The scoop and tea container is then offered to the guests for the review, each element being treated with extreme caution and respect because they are irreplaceable antiques handmade in May handed down for generations. The host retrieves Then utensils, and as guests leave the tea house bows as a sign that the ceremony has officially ended.
