The Japanese tea ceremony is a centuries-old tradition closely tied to Zen Buddhist principles, and a popular way to experience Japanese culture. There are several variations on this ritual. At its base, powdered green tea (matcha) is prepared and served in accordance with strict rules. Oftentimes, wagashi (Japanese sweets) is served alongside the bitter green tea.
When we travel around the world , we are always excited to meet new people, experience new things and come across unexpected scenery. It may happen at the quiet Zen temple with monk or local old beach with fisherman. It could be any such moment in any place.
