Blog#8: Powdered Green Tea

Yuki Morita
   Hello, friends! Do you like to drink powdered green tea? It tastes bitter, so many people don't like it. However, it is easy to drink it now.  There are imitations of  green tea Latte everywhere recently.
   I joined the tea ceremony club in my high school. We maked powdered tea many times. Its process is simple, but there are many manners in the tea ceremony, for example, we turn a tea bowl before we drink it, and say 「結構なお点前で」 (Your tea was so good. ) . 
   First, I  thought it was difficult to remember all manners. We maked tea for many people in a school festival, and an old lady who drank the tea thanked us. We were happy. I realized that the most important thing was to consider guest.  After the moment, I became more and more interested in the tea ceremony.
   Now, I find great pleasure in making or drinking green tea at place I feel at home, for example, in a Japanese-style room. It doesn't matter where we drink it. I like to drink it at my favorite Japanese-style cafe near my house.

  6. Hello, Yuki(^^)✿

    You are a very elegant Japanese girl!

    When I was a high school student, I belonged to the tea ceremony club too!! But…

    I was a “ghost member”「幽霊部員」(◦ω◦)←!!!

    Though I was a member of the tea ceremony club, I don't remember its manners well.(;_;)
    At a school festival, I was sitting in Yukata (summer kimono) at the reception desk.
    (^▽^; ・・・・・

    I missed a good opportunity to learn Japanese traditional. I regret it very much.

    I want to drink the green tea which you made someday! Please make me(>∀<*)♪
