Japanese Tea Ceremony
SPRING
Welcome to MIFA tea ceremony
Sado, Japanese tea ceremony, is one of the Japanese traditional cultures where host serves tea to guests with a heart of hospitality. Our tea ceremony is true to tradition. Participants always enjoy watching high-skilled performance of making tea, and having tasty matcha.
We used to serve a bowl of tea per person at a ceremony, but this time, we will demonstrate 3 types of tea-servings: thin tea (薄茶 Usucha), thick tea (濃茶 Koicha), and tea box (茶箱 Chabako) . You will find different tools and techniques are used for each tea. Followings are the brief introduction of the three:
Thin tea is most common type of tea and is what we call "matcha" nowadays.
This time, the host will perform ryurei-style ceremony where the host and guests use tables and chairs.
Thick tea is literally matcha with thick consistency. It is rich taste and has an aroma. It is usually served in formal situation.
Tea box is a portable tea set. It allows you to drink tea anytime, anywhere.
