TEA Culture
The Way of Tea
Japan's vibrant tea culture known as chanoyu (literally hot water
for tea) is a distillation of many of the finest aspects of Japanese
culture - its arts, its cuisine, its hospitality, its philosophy.
Transmitted since the 16th century in adherence with the
principles of harmony, respect, purity and tranquility,
chanoyu provides spiritual contemplation and artistic inspiration
through the medium of powdered green tea.
You will discover a refuge from everyday cares when you attend a
tea class or tea event. Chanoyu offers tranquility and beauty
within the sanctuary of the tearoom. There, everything is
considered for its aesthetic and ethical impact. To the extent that
these refined tastes and behaviors inform our daily lives, we follow
the way of tea and commit ourselves to living mindfully and
beautifully.
Since 1981 the East-West Chanoyu Center (formerly Urasenke
Seattle Branch) has served the broader community in the
knowledge and appreciation of Japanese culture through tea.
Chanoyu classes and events are open to all who wish to savor
the Way of Tea.
