Darye is a traditional Korean tea ceremony that emphasizes mindfulness and respect for the tea and its preparation. The term "darye" translates to "etiquette of tea," highlighting the importance of proper conduct during the ceremony. Participants often engage in a slow, deliberate process of brewing and serving tea, which fosters a sense of tranquility and connection.
