Tea Ceremony in Japan~~
The Japanese tea ceremony, also called the Way of Tea, is a Japanese cultural activity involving the ceremonial preparation and presentation of matcha, powdered green tea. In Japanese, it is called chanoyu (茶の湯) or chadō (茶道; also pronounced sadō^?). The manner in which it is performed, or the art of its performance, is called temae (点前^?). Zen Buddhism was a primary influence in the development of the tea ceremony.
