As the guests kneel or sit cross-legged on mats, the host places a spoonful of
powdered tea into a special bowl, adds boiling water, and then stirs it with a
bamboo whisk. Although in early tea ceremonies everyone drank from the same
bowl, it later became the practice for the host to serve the tea in individual
bowls. The guests sip the tea slowly and talk until they have finished drinking.
Then they are expected to throw back their heads and take the final sip with a
loud sound to show how good the tea is.
As the ceremony comes to an end, the guests admire the empty
serving bowl for its beauty. The host washes the cups, and
the ceremony ends. The formal tea ceremony is certainly not undertaken
every time someone drinks tea in Japan, but the tea is always served with
much care and politeness. The British also like to be formal and dignified
when they serve tea. While the Japanese serve green tea in small cups
without handles,
the British favor the black teas of India and Ceylon
served in china cups with handles and matching saucers.
In Britain, tea is made in a pot, using one teaspoonful of tea leaves for
each cup plus one extra teaspoonful for the pot. Boiling water is poured
into the pot, and the tea is left for about five minutes before the host pours
for the guests. As in Japan, tea drinking is an important part of daily life
in England. Many people drink tea several times a day, and they associate
it with relaxation and entertainment.
