The inseparable Tea Rooms Design culture of East Asia is well-known, where tea is much more than just a pleasant drink. Not only is tea enjoyed in person and at social events, in small tea parties and in public teahouses, but many cultures have created intricate formal ceremonies around the act of tea preparation and service. While East Asian tea ceremonies differ between countries, the ritualistic nature of the drink is agreed upon. This pleasant daily observation has inspired the inclusion of personal tea rooms within modern homes, which is what we are exploring here today. From traditional Asian tea tables and tatami mats to contemporary interpretations of the theme, we will discover how to raise tea at home.
