다도 (Tea)
다도 (Tea) is a traditional practice in Korea that emphasizes the art of tea preparation and consumption. It involves a series of rituals that highlight the beauty of the tea leaves, the brewing process, and the enjoyment of the tea itself. The practice is often accompanied by a serene atmosphere, promoting mindfulness and appreciation for the moment.
In 다도, various types of tea, such as green tea and herbal tea, are used, each with its unique flavor and health benefits. The experience is not just about drinking tea; it also includes the aesthetic presentation of tea utensils, such as teapots and cups, which enhance the overall enjoyment of the tea ceremony.
