Japanese Tea Ceremony


Tea Ceremonies are very special occasions in Japan. At a Japanese Tea Ceremony it is important to relax �?but you can still have lots of fun. Before you start, read about Japanese Tea Ceremonies
 
Planning

At a Japanese Tea Ceremony there are usually four guests so this type of party is probably more suitable for smaller numbers.

Try to keep the number of guests to around 8 or 10. Japanese Tea Ceremonies should not be too noisy.

If you want to organise a Japanese event for more people, you could arrange for guests to arrive at given times during the day and have 4 or 5 parties that last about an hour each.

Other arrangements

You might need to design posters to advertise your tea party and send out some invitations.

Guests are usually invited to sit around a low table during the tea ceremony. Arrange to have cushions for them to sit on. If you don’t have a table, you can spread a tablecloth on the floor.

Tea Ceremonies are very special occasions in Japan. At a Japanese Tea Ceremony it is important to relax �?but you can still have lots of fun. Before you start, read about Japanese Tea Ceremonies

 

Planning

What you need:

Teapot, plates, cups, saucers and spoons
Tea
Small sweet biscuits or cakes
Tablecloth and napkins
Low table (e.g. a coffee table) if you have one
Music and music player �?Japanese music on a tape or CD would be perfect
Decorations �?flowers and Japanese fans
 
Jewel cakes

What you need:
  • 200g butter
  • 100g sugar
  • 2 egg yolks (beaten with a fork)
  • 400g flour
  • Milk
  • Cling film
  • Baking tray (rub some melted butter on it to grease it. It stops the cakes from sticking to the tray)
  • Jam (different colours if you have them)
 
How to make the cakes
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C, Gas Mark 5)
Mix the butter and sugar together until it is creamy (it’s hard work at first)
Add ½ the egg yolks and mix again, then stir the flour into the mixture
Use your fingers to make the mixture into a dough ball (you can add some milk if it is too dry)
Wrap the dough ball in cling film and put it in the fridge for 30 min.
Take the ball from the fridge, unwrap it and pull small pieces from the doughball (about the size of an egg)
Roll these small pieces in your hands to make small balls
Put the small balls on a greased baking tray (leave a little space between them)
Make a small hole with your thumb in the centre of each cake and fill it with ½ teaspoon of jam.
Brush each cake with the rest of the egg yolk
Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until the edges of the cakes are just slightly brown.
Leave them to cool before you eat them,
