Talk:Tea ceremony

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm very curious as to why "Japanese tea ceremony" redirects to "Tea ceremony" as if there is only one tea ceremony? In China alone I have experienced five major different sorts of tea ceremony with many variations on each one. I suggest that this topic be moved back to "Japanese Tea Ceremony" with this page used as a disambiguating page for other tea ceremonies. (And yes, I will contribute what I know of some of the other tea ceremonies as I get the full information. I happen to like them.)

Another question is why is this article so empty? Is there no PD description of the ceremony proper available that could be brought in to flesh it out? (Treat these as questions, please, not attacks. I know very little of the Japanese ceremony and there may be a good reason why it is not described.) --Michael 00:47 3 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Hitting the web, I've found a lot of information on tea ceremonies in general. If there's no objection from anybody here in 24 hours, I'm just going to go and do the reorganisation I mentioned and add, at the same time, an article describing the various Chinese tea ceremonies I know well enough to describe. --Michael 01:04 3 Jul 2003 (UTC)

There were no objections, so the reorganisation has been done, complete with an article detailing the Fujian tea ceremony. --Michael 09:05 7 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Anyone know of some non-Asian tea ceremonies?

Yes, Britain and Ireland have a strong Tea culture, with both topping the European tables for annual tea consumption. Somebody should write a similar article! JDnCoke 22:39, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Capitalization of title

Why was this article moved to have the title be in capitals? This is against Wikipedia naming conventions. —Umofomia 06:20, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
