Good fun - The explanation, with the tea ceremony’s history, roles, and what the movements in creating a cup of tea, or picking up a cha bowl was excellent. Fun too was trying one’s hand at creating a foamy version yourself. That it was in English was also a plus. The sensei was excellent. I recommend it if you are at all curious about this very Japanese tradition.
