 I was at a school where the 6th graders were learning the tea ceremony from a visiting lady. It was set up in the principal's office and I was invited to participate between my lessons.
The girl is stirring the green tea in the yellow cup with a bamboo whisk to create a frothy brew. There are many rules to follow in the tea ceremony, and there are different styles.

You may not win many points with this one as some people may not appreciate the symbolism or see the greater meaning of the culture involved. For me, great, 9.
