Thank you very much from Ireland. ☘❤. I wish I had that 'peace' in my life now.🙏

Hello there! That is a wonderful question and one that we think about very often. It is not at all offensive if a non-Japanese person practices the ritual, as long as the method through which they are learning and developing their art is respectful to the history, origin and the philosophies of the practice. The Japanese Art of Tea is so complex, that even those who study and practice it for over ten years can call themselves masters. However it is a beautiful discipline in which one is able to enter a deeper understanding; one’s focus naturally flows to the present and singularity of each moment. Here are some wonderful places to start: Introduction to the Chado ritual: www.tealeaves.com/explore/tea-culture/chado-the-japanese-way-of-tea/. How to make Matcha: www.tealeaves.com/explore/tea-culture/how-to-matcha/. More on Japanese Tea Culture: cherryblossom.afternoontealeaves.com/. Here is also a new exploration we did in the abstraction of the tea ceremony, trying to understand the main elements of the complex ceremony, as explained by Yasuko Takahashi, a tea ceremony master: folio.tealeaves.com/ichigo-ichie/. Please let us know if you are curious in learning more!

TEALEAVES Thanks so much! I look forward to learning more and reading about this. Your website is beautiful - I didn't know so many types of teas existed!

@@da3855 Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy to have introduced you to our lovingly blended creations!

How on earth else would you drink matcha except with a whisk and bowl? That's like asking if eating with chopsticks is offensive if you're not a trained geisha.....

It’s not offensive. I’m literally taking a class on this in America

We agree! You may be interested in our other film exploring Chadō that also hopes to transport you into a relaxing tea ceremony kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idOeosZ3ptTehGw.html
