I am going to introduce Matcha (Green tea)
today. The custom to drink tea came from China. Tea ceremony is a Japanese cultural
activity where people drink Matcha. Tea ceremony is held a special room, and
people need to sit up on their heels. It has a lot of manners and they are very
complicated. For example, before drinking, you must turn the tea bowl to your
left to avoid drinking from the front, which is a decorative part of the tea
bowl. They also eat tea cakes at tea ceremony. They look so cute. Honestly, I’ve
never tried tea ceremony, so I hope I try it someday. There are a lot of green
tea flavor foods, especially desserts in Japan. I rarely drink green tea but I love
green tea flavor. I love green tea ice creams, rolls, chocolates, and drinks. I
found green tea fondue and I want to try it.

Japanese tea ceremony looks calm and polite. I think the ceremony goes along a very quiet mood. Is it okay to Japanese people talk with others during the ceremony?
ReplyDeleteI love green tea! It's good for you. Packed with antioxidants. It's interesting to see how strict Japanese culture is.
