chadao

Definition#

A context-dependent term for the art, methods or cultivated practice of tea drinking, which can include preparation and etiquette. It should not automatically be equated with one standardized Chinese ceremony or with Japanese chado. Distinguish 茶道 chádào from 茶刀 chádāo, the tea knife: unaccented chadao conceals the different tones and characters.
