In the gentle steam of morning light, A cup of tea begins its flight. Whispers of leaves, steeped with grace, Awaken the soul, in quiet embrace. Golden hues in the fragrant mist, Each sip, a moment not to be missed. From ancient roots, through time it flows, In every brew, life's wisdom grows.

Japan’s tea culture, deeply rooted in tradition and spirituality, is most famously represented by the **Japanese tea ceremony**, or **Chanoyu**. This ritual, which centers around the preparation and consumption of **matcha** (powdered green tea), has evolved over centuries and is influenced by Zen Buddhism. The ceremony is not just about drinking tea; it embodies **harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility**—principles that guide its practice. The tea room, typically small and simple, is designed to create a sense of peace and reflection. Every action, from the way the tea is whisked to how it is served, is done with mindfulness. The utensils used, including the tea bowl, bamboo whisk, and tea caddy, are carefully selected to reflect the season or occasion. Japanese tea culture also extends beyond the ceremony. **Green tea** (sencha) is a staple in daily life, enjoyed with meals or offered to guests.

The production of Chinese green tea starts with the careful hand-picking of young tea leaves, usually in early spring. The leaves are then quickly heated by pan-frying or steaming to stop oxidation, preserving their green color and fresh flavor. After heating, the leaves are rolled to shape them and release essential oils, enhancing the flavor. Rolling can be done by hand or machine, depending on the tea type. The leaves are then dried using methods like baking, sun-drying, or air-drying to reduce moisture and ensure a long shelf life. Finally, the tea leaves are sorted, graded, and packaged, maintaining their delicate taste and health benefits.

The history of Chinese tea art, known as "Cha Dao," dates back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). Initially, tea was used for medicinal purposes, but it soon became a popular beverage. The Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD) saw the refinement of tea preparation and presentation techniques. During the Ming (1368-1644 AD) and Qing (1644-1912 AD) Dynasties, tea culture flourished, incorporating elaborate rituals and artistic elements. Today, Chinese tea art symbolizes elegance, philosophy, and a deep cultural heritage.
