Japanese tea ceremony at AllExperts (5582 words) |
 | The Japanese tea ceremony (cha-no-yu, chadÅ, or sadÅ) is a traditional ritual influenced by Zen Buddhism in which powdered green tea, or matcha (æ¹è¶), is ceremonially prepared by a skilled practitioner and served to a small group of guests in a tranquil setting. |
| Tea ceremonies may take place outside (in which case some kind of seating will usually be provided for guests, whether benches or chairs, or even tatami) or inside, either in a tea room or a tea house, but tea ceremonies can be performed nearly anywhere. |
