Chanoyu

/tʃɑnɔjuː/ noun

Definition

A traditional Japanese tea ceremony involving the careful preparation and serving of matcha green tea as a meditative and social practice.

Etymology

From Japanese cha (tea) + yu (hot water). The ceremony developed during the 15th-16th centuries in Japan as a Zen Buddhist influenced ritual.

Kelly Says

Chanoyu isn't just about tea—every movement, pause, and utensil placement follows precise rules that can take decades to master. It's like a choreographed meditation where even silence communicates respect and presence, turning a simple cup of tea into an art form.
