Practicing the Japanese tea ceremony at UCLA

We spent some time with UTeaLA, a campus club that meets weekly to practice the art of the Japanese tea ceremony. We sat down with some of UTeaLA’s members to get their take on what learning this meditative ritual means to them. What is a Japanese tea ceremony? Also called Chadō, "The Way of Tea", is regarded as both a social and meditative practice. Certain elements can vary according to the tradition, including what food is served. But matcha green tea is consistent throughout traditions. Where the ceremony is performed also varies but is usually done on a tatami– traditional woven grass mat. Part of UTeaLA's mission is to "introduce UCLA students to the Japanese Tea Ceremony and associated practices (e.g., kadō flower arrangement, shodō calligraphy, wagashi sweet making)."
