When it comes to tea rituals, nothing quite compares to a traditional matcha<\/span><\/a> ceremony. Learning how to make matcha is a tradition that can be traced back to the 9th century. These ceremonies are used to celebrate everything from the new year to opening a new jar of tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ceremony itself consists of a number of tiny details, precise movements and specific etiquette (like never speaking directly to the host) that should be respected regardless of the reason for the celebration. Even in today\u2019s hyper-fast society, tea ceremonies remain at the core of Japanese culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
