 +====Types====
 +   * [[yobanashi|夜咄]]
 +   * **朝茶事**: Start around 0600 to escape summer heat. Directly 初炭 with 風炉中の拝見, then abbreviated 懐石: No 焼物, instead 預け鉢 and 5 or 7 pickles. 続き薄茶.
 +   * **暁の茶事**: The dawn 茶事, mainly done in 炉 (for 風炉, it's the 朝). One of the highlights is watching the wet 釜 dry while 懐石 is served. It starts at 0400, so the host stays up all night to prepare.
 +   * **夕ざり**: You time the 中立 to be around sunset, so 懐石 is enjoyed in sunlight, and tea at candle light.
