Chado is a comprehensive form of Japanese culture. You learn not only the procedure of tea preparation but also about ceramics, lacquerware, metalware, flowers, cooking, calligraphy, poetry, etc. It is a lifetime achievement to master chado or a life is not long enough for it.
Qualified teachers offer tuition in various places. Students can get certificates from Kyoto according to the level of proficiency that they reach. During a lesson, you learn what to do as a host and as a guest as well. A host prepares tea and serves it and a guest has sweets and tea.
