The tea ceremonies are fascinating, I don't know much about them but they do seem very meditative and calming. I appreciate ritual in relation to food, such as aesthetic appearance, proper setting etc. It all adds to the food/drink.
Interesting that they say you should show the other person your lovely cup, I actually do that myself. You can't see it anyway if you're constantly raising it to your own mouth, but if you drink in a group, you can see everyone else's!
