The ceremony begins with the careful preparation of the tea leaves and water. The tea master selects the appropriate tea for the ceremony, measuring the exact amount needed. The water is heated to the perfect temperature, depending on the type of tea being brewed, ensuring that the flavors are properly extracted. The focus here is on precision and mindfulness, with every movement being deliberate and respectful of the tea-making process.

Once the tea is prepared, the tea master brews it using traditional methods, such as whisking matcha in a bowl or steeping loose leaf tea in a pot. The brewing process is done slowly and with great attention to detail, allowing the tea to release its full flavor. The tea is then served to guests in small cups, with the first cup often being presented to the most honored guest. Each participant receives their cup of tea with gratitude and mindfulness.

The final stage of the ceremony focuses on the mindful consumption of the tea. Guests are encouraged to take small, thoughtful sips, appreciating the aroma, flavor, and warmth of the tea. This stage is about being present in the moment, enjoying the tea and the peaceful atmosphere created by the ceremony. Often, quiet reflection or respectful conversation accompanies this part of the ritual, enhancing the sense of community and tranquility.
