Japanese Tea Culture

Japanese tea culture, or “chado” (also known as “sado” or “chanoyu”), is a tradition of preparing and serving tea that has been practiced in Japan for over 800 years. The practice of chado emphasizes the principles of harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility, and it is seen as a form of art and a way of cultivating mindfulness and spiritual awareness.

The ceremony is often conducted in a special tea room called a “chashitsu,” which is designed to create a sense of harmony and tranquility.
