There, a strict ritualwas set down in the fifteenth century by the first great tea master, Shuko. This tea ceremony is still performed today. Guests must wash their hands and faces and remove their shoes before entering the tearoom through a low doorway that forces them to bend the neck and appear modest. As the guests sit cross-legged, the host places a spoonful of powdered tea into a special bowl, adds boiling water, and then stirsit with a bamboo brush. Although in early tea ceremonies, everyone drank from the same bowl, it later became the practice for the host to serve the tea in each one’s bowl. The guests drink the tea slowly and talk until they have finished drinking. Then they are expected to throw back their heads and take the final drop with a loud sound to show how good the tea is. As the ceremony comes to an end, the guests admire the empty serving bowl for its beauty. The host washes the cups and the ceremony ends. They do not certainly have the formal tea ceremony every time they drink tea in Japan, but the tea is always served with much care and politeness.
