The Japanese tea ceremony (cha-no-yu, chado, or sado) is a traditional ritual influenced by Zen Buddhism in which powdered green tea, or matcha (??), is ceremonially prepared by a skilled practitioner and served to a small group of guests in a tranquil setting. Colloquially it is often called ocha among Japanese.

Has anyone experienced taking part in a tea ceremony? Anybody interested in sadou? Please discuss sadou here. :)

the tea ceremony always gives you a peaceful feeling. sabi nga ng teacher ko, pwede rin itong form of meditation kasi you're totally absorbed into the whole ceremony. it's just you and the tea and nobody else.


it's like being in another world. mas maganda pa kung pati yung place/venue, traditional japanese room complete with tatami and everything. [H]

For those interested in sadou, there is a tea ceremony club that meets once a week in Makati. This is composed mostly of Japanese housewives but Filipinas are welcome to join. Very useful if you know Japanese. :)


Some of the members do a tea ceremony demonstration at the Nihongo Center's yearly open house. :)

dun sa unang time kong nag-try nito, magandang experience kasi ikaw mismo ang gagawa ng ocha. mapait, sobra. pero i guess, sanayan lang din yan. meron daw matcha na mas matamis pero di ginagamit sa sadou; sa pag-bake lang ng mga green tea cake.

i think kailangan nga ng japanese knowledge. some of them are still learning english and they would appreciate it if you could help them out. sometimes, the tea ceremony classes become english practice classes as well. :)

As in yung matcha na pang tea ceremony at hindi yung pang-bake?

yun nga ang di ko sure e. kasi tinanong ko kung me matcha sila. tapos sabi lang nung araw na nun e wala silang matcha. tapos tinanong ako kung ako daw yung tumawag the day before. Siguro me nag-inquire sa kanila about matcha bago ko dumating.

So sinabi ko hindi ako yun tapos tinanong ko yung mga ibang tea dun. sabi green tea din daw, pati yung binili ko na naka-post sa all about tea thread dito.

Pag napunta ako sa cartimar branch nila, magtatanong ako kung me matcha sila na pang tea ceremony.

Talaga bang mapait yung matcha na ginagamit sa tea ceremony? Yung sa open house kasi parang hindi ganun kapait. Actually masarap nga yun e :D

Di mapait na mapait. Kala ko rin dati parang sobrang pait eh. Di naman pala. Tsaka kailangan din kumain ng konting matamis para lang mabalance yung lasa ng tea.

Actually, parang English conversation sessions din nila yung tea ceremony club nila. Not sure kung tinutuloy pa rin nila yung tea ceremony, or baka naging English learning club na :D

malay natin baka meron pa, di ba? If the tea ceremony can be used as an instrument for them to interact in English, baka naman tuloy pa rin yan dahil siguro naman meron pang ibang Japanese housewives na nagma-migrate or nagbabakasyon dito every year.

suggestion ko nga gawa tayo ng parang tea activity. hindi naman exactly na tea ceremony. parang kapihan lang ba.
Maneki Neko

Pwede yon, tingin ko OK yan. Ano kayang magandang venue? Ideally siguro, yung pwede sa sahig.

Baka pwede na lang tayong sumali sa mga existing tea ceremony ng mga Japanese housewives kung meron? Hehe. At least kung gusto nilang may makausap ng English "We can do spokening with they. Cannot us?" :laugh:

Yong mga housewives kasi, usually weekday office hours pag wala sa bahay mga asawa nila at may free time sila.

^pede po bang sugar cubes na lang ang i-substitute sa wagashi? XD
Maneki Neko
11-01-2009, 08:43 PM
Hehe, parang ang sagwa naman ata kung sugar cubes. Malamang hindi, kasi dapat rin i-savor mo ng konti yung pagkain. :)

Parang hindi sya cup eh. It's more of a bowl. A bit wider than a cup.
tomaan
11-03-2009, 08:45 PM
ahh so tama po ba ung pagka-describe ko dun sa "all japanese items shop" thread?

Maneki Neko
11-03-2009, 11:11 PM
Yup, mas makapal sya. Tsaka syempre walang hawakan. Ay di pa ako nakabisita sa thread na yon. Hehe.
