The Tea Ceremony ( Sado ) is a way of preparing and drinking tea. Nowadays, the Tea Ceremony is a relatively popular kind of hobby. Many Japanese who are interested in their own culture, take Tea Ceremony lessons with a teacher. Tea Ceremonies are held in traditional Japanese rooms in cultural community center or private houses. The ceremony itself consists of many rituals that have to be learned by heart. Almost each hand movement is prescribed. Basically, the Tea is first prepared by the host, and then drunken by the guests.
