Description
Called "Ocha" in Japan, the ceremony of the preparing tea for guest is not based on the tea itself but the way one makes the green tea or "matcha" for their guest ...
The steps taken by the host, the placing of the utensils, the movements, the presentation are all directed by the server thinking of the point of view of the guest.
Each movement is slowed for the guest so that they can see how much the host wants to present a perfect gift of refreshment to their guest.
It is to please the guest, to show that it is a honor to have them in the home...
The ritual has been passed down through more generations than we can imagine.
Only one of the Beautiful Displays of Tradition of the Japanese Culture
