Yesterday we had an extremely enjoyable tea ceremony with a young couple from Serbia.
They were so enthralled by watching Shacho (Kazuhiro-san) perform the intricate ceremony that they did not want to take any photos, they just wanted to immerse themselves in the experience!
Being able to take part in tea ceremonies with guests from all over the world is also very interesting and useful for me because I get to learn a little about their home countries and what makes them so interested in Japan.
Sebia in particular is a country from where we have welcomed only a handful of guests until now but they told me that Japan is quickly becoming the number one destination and many of their friends have already visited or will be visiting very soon.
Matcha is also becoming very popular in Serbia though they said it can still be a little bit difficult to find good quality matcha.
