| Tea for Two? One of the most hospitable gestures when welcoming someone to your home, is to offer them a nice cup of tea. In Kyoto, I have booked to experience the Japanese tea ceremony to see how this ancient tradition is carried out - should be fascinating! |
My Blog is to provide the opportunity for my College students and colleagues, friends and family to join me on my month-long global journey of discovery, Summer 2012, to explore the theme of ‘HOME’ CARTREF', from the perspective of 3 contrasting world cultures: JAPAN, AUSTRALIA and BALI. Skip back in reverse order to see my adventures unfold! From 21st July 2013, follow my latest 'JOURNEY' (our new theme from September 2013), here, in JULIA'S MOTORHOME MEANDERINGS’ around Bonnie Scotland.
What's the difference between the Japanese tea ceremony and how we take tea in Wales ?
ReplyDeleteAll will be revealed in good time Jay. The story of Tea in Wales was historically linked to the slave trade, as the demand for sugar to sweeten this favourite of British drinks increased prices and drove the sugar cane industry in the American slave plantations. The context of tea in Japan is very different and I look forward to sharing with you in this Blog what I discover on my Home from Home adventure!
