With the aim of recovering the philosophical meaning of Japanese traditions, New Acropolis organized a tea ceremony. After a brief talk about the history, principles and purpose of the “way of tea”, there was a demonstration of the “obonryakutemae”, which is one of the ways of making tea. To conclude, a workshop was offered on how to prepare matcha, where all participants had the opportunity to make their own beverage and to enjoy a question and answer period and insightful discussion.
