What does CHADO mean in Scrabble?
noun
literary
The formal Japanese ceremony of preparing and serving powdered green tea.
Chado covers far more than making a drink: the ceremony sets out fixed movements for cleaning the utensils, whisking the tea and offering the bowl to a guest, all performed with deliberate calm. Practitioners describe chado as a discipline for the mind as much as a ritual for the tea itself, and the same ceremony is also known by the related names sado and chanoyu.
