Out-of-door tea

Title
Out-of-door tea
Description
Tea service is a solemn rite, time-honored and royal. It is the test of elegance, of quiet dignity and repose. Gentle courtesy and exquisite compliment are implied in the decorum of the elaborate tea service, which was amplified and emphasized by the old emperors. Incidentally, drinking is no silent art among the Japanese, and noisy swallowing is perfectly consistent with propriety.
