I have not done anything!!

Japanese Tea and Teapot

Japanese Tea Ceremony :

Also known as Way of Tea 

it involves ceremony preparation and presentation.

They use powdered green tea in Japanese it is chanoyu (茶の湯) or chadō (茶道).

Zen Buddhism was the primary influence of the ceremony.

They can be held out doors in the open air, but there are also tea rooms that are designed specifically for use for the wabi style of tea developed by Sen no Rikyū.

They prepare the tea either thick or thin, while using the best quality leaves, each guest gets a bowl of thin tea, while all the guests share and pass around a bowl of thick tea.

I am going to be making a japanese style tea pot.  

i would either make a variation of these two 

and or one like this.. it has a different type of handle

i think either would be challenging 

the first two the blue and the red one look like the body needs to be thrown in two sections.
