Owner Yuko Uyesugi is an expert in the centuries-old Chado tea ceremony, which is the ritualistic preparation of green tea, meant to provide a relaxing break from everyday life.

In your time at Chozen-ji you studied kendo — the way of the sword — and chado — the way of tea.

Chado, or the way of tea, is very different.

Chado is remarkable because it incorporates philosophy and all the art forms — cooking, calligraphy, aesthetics, the tea itself and the sweets, ceramics — it really is a whole integrated space when you are in the tearoom.

For 4 ounces of blooming tea, purchase via Chado’s website for $35.90.
