There are many people, including Japanese who believe that tea ceremony is just about drinking tea. But actually, drinking tea is just one part of the tea ceremony, and the full ceremony takes about 4 hours. You don’t want to be sitting with your legs folded and drinking tea for 4 hours right? lol

So today, as a tea ceremony trainee in Kyoto, I will explain what goes on during the 4 hours of the full tea ceremony.

This video will help you to deepen your understanding towards tea ceremony, and give you a clearer image of the important culture of Japan.

The most important part of drinking matcha comes in at the latter half of the tea ceremony, so I hope you stay till the end to find out.
