Tea Ceremony : feel the way of Japan
Details
Powdered green tea was introduced to Japan from China by a Japanese Zen priest in the 12th century. The development of the way of tea was influenced by Zen Buddhism, and the style with cultural traits was formed around the 15th century.

About the host
Fumi K.
I have been practicing tea ceremony since I was 9 years old, and opened a small tea ceremony school in the east of Ginza in 2004. That was about 8 years after I came back from the United States.
