The Japanese tea ceremony is nothing like the British High Tea. It is much more of a ceremony than a daily afternoon social occasion. I don't know anywhere in LA that it can be commercially viewed. It is more of a private ceremony where you would be invited into someones home to view. There are lots of places that have been mentioned on this site where you can go for green tea or other asian varieties. A number of them are on Sawtelle in West LA and one in Westwood. In the green tea ceremony the tea used is Sencha which is a powdered green tea. If you have iced green tea at Matsuhisa, it is sencha. If you get hot green tea there, it is regular green tea.
