The Japanese tea ceremony centers on the preparation, serving, and drinking of matcha.
In modern times, matcha has also come to be used to flavour and dye foods such as mochi and soba noodles, green tea ice cream and a variety of wagashi (Japanese confectionery).

Hi, I'm June Adames.
The Japanese tea ceremony is a Japanese cultural activity involving the ceremonial preparation and presentation of matcha, powdered green tea.
In Japanese, it is called chanoyu (茶の湯) or sadō (茶道).

The manner in which it is performed, or the art of its performance, is called otemae (お手前 or お点前).
Zen Buddhism was a primary influence in the development of the Japanese tea ceremony.
Much less commonly, Japanese tea ceremony uses leaf tea, primarily sencha, in which case it is known in Japanese as senchadō (煎茶道) as opposed to chanoyu or chadō.
Tea gatherings are classified as an informal tea gathering chakai (茶会) and a formal tea gathering chaji (茶事).
A chakai is a relatively simple course of hospitality that includes confections, thin tea, and perhaps a light meal.

A chaji is a much more formal gathering, usually including a full-course kaiseki meal followed by confections, thick tea, and thin tea.
A chaji can last up to four hours.
