I have had a bowl of green tea in Tokyo, Japan, but it was not a ceremony (I once attended a Yobanashi tea ceremony in London, UK)

I sure hope it tasted better than it looks. Brrr.

Green tea is a suspension. Most tea that are drunk are infusions. So it is like drinking a "smoothie"!

"Ah, you must appreciate the essence of the green tea before drinking", I was told at tea ceremonies. You have captured the essence quite well. A new fave.
LoopZilla (72 months ago | reply)
You must also capture the mood, the season...

Nice shot. I keep thinking it might look better with more contrast but then again I am a contrast junkie. :)

The tea looks revolting but it is a really beautiful photo! I love the colours and the way you've famed the shot. Lovely.

thank you very much everyone for your comments.
it is funny to read a comment when someone doesn't like green tea flavours! it is true though, you either really like it or you don't! it certainly makes for interesting posting anyway!
compared to 'normal' green tea, this drink here is very creamy, as LoopZilla said, like a smoothie. i have to admit i was very impatient when i was taking this photo as i just wanted to start drinking it. they made it at a tea ceremony in front of me, and had just whisked it (thus the lovely photogenic bubbles!).

The drink and the ceramic mug it's resting are both very beautiful
malino (71 months ago | reply)
I like how the background really corresponds with the mug and the tea. Really good!

Mmmmm Mattcha (^0^) Tea ceremony is like meditation, and drinking matcha is like enlightenment :)
LoopZilla (71 months ago | reply)
@mboogiedown: What is enlightenment?

Beautiful shot. Did it come with a sweet?
michenv (70 months ago | reply)
davidteter, it did come with a sweet, but i don't think i took a photo of that. i was probably eating it whilst taking the photo of the tea. i'll have a look back through my photos for a sweet!

Thanks for the appetizing photo! It was so beautiful that I had to use it in my post, Cold Brewed Green Tea, even though it isn't cold brewed. Find it at ancientsounds.blogspot.com if you would like. Credit given.
