Chado — literally "the way of tea" in Japanese — is a centuries-old tradition that encompasses many facets of Japanese culture. Often called the Japanese tea ceremony in English, we prefer to think of it as chanoyu, "hot water for tea": you boil the water, you prepare the tea, and you share it. Along with the tea, perhaps, we share a bit of ourselves. |
