The teaceremonies are the crowning glory of the tea culture.
The teaceremony is conducted for various purposes: anything from expressing appreciation or asking forgiveness, to creating goodwill among the guests of family reunions or wedding celebrations.
The Japanese teaceremony was designed in the spirit of the Zen doctrine, according to which spiritual elevation is achieved by engrossing oneself in the small details of daily life.
Though she was born in Tokyo, Rodgers, 81, devoted herself to the art of the teaceremony only after her college-age son announced he had won a scholarship to study the tradition in Japan.
The tea used in chanoyu -- the Japanese word literally means ``hot water for tea," though it is generally translated as ``teaceremony" -- consists of powdered leaves, chosen from the top of prime, eight-year-old plants.
Rodgers said that in her public teaceremonies she explains the elements of the ceremony and the implements used and answers questions at the end.
