The Philly Tea Club (and guests!) assembled in the back yard for an introduction to Chanoyu.
Being far from a proper tea room, Pamela L - a third year student of the Urasenke school - performed one of the more casual forms, o-bon temae.
This ceremony is performed with the utensils arranged on a round tray, and draws hot water from a tetsubin rather than ladled from the kama.
