A tea ceremony is a ritualized form of making tea practiced in East Asia by the Chinese, Koreans and Japanese. The tea ceremony (Chinese: 茶道 or 茶禮 or 茶艺), literally translated as "way of tea" or "art of tea" in Chinese is a cultural activity involving the ceremonial preparation and presentation of tea. Tea ceremonies and rituals contain "an adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday life", as well as refinement, an inner spiritual content, humility, restraint and simplicity.
