Every action in {{transliteration|ja|chadō}} – how a kettle is used, how a teacup is examined, how tea is scooped into a cup – is performed in a very specific way, and may be thought of as a procedure or technique. The procedures performed in {{transliteration|ja|chadō}} are known collectively as {{transliteration|ja|temae}}. The act of performing these procedures during a {{transliteration|ja|chaji}} is called "doing {{transliteration|ja|temae}}".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Temae 点前 {{!}} |url=https://chanoyu.world/temae/ |access-date=2024-04-12 |language=en-US}}</ref>

There are many styles of {{transliteration|ja|temae}}, depending upon the school, occasion, season, setting, equipment, and countless other possible factors. The following is a short, general list of common types of {{transliteration|ja|temae}}.<ref>{{Cite web |title=What is Chanoyu? {{!}} An Introduction to the Japanese Tea Ceremony |url=https://www.tezumi.com/blogs/tezumi-insights/what-is-chanoyu |access-date=2024-04-12 |website=Tezumi |language=en}}</ref>

==={{transliteration|ja|Chabako temae}}===
{{nihongo||茶箱手前|Chabako temae}} is so called because the equipment is removed from and then replaced into a special box known as a {{nihongo3|{{lit|tea box}}|茶箱|chabako}}. {{transliteration|ja|Chabako}} developed as a convenient way to prepare the necessary equipment for making tea outdoors. The basic equipment contained in the {{transliteration|ja|chabako}} are the tea bowl, tea whisk (kept in a special container), tea scoop and tea caddy, and linen wiping cloth in a special container, as well as a container for little candy-like sweets. Many of the items are smaller than usual, to fit in the box. This gathering takes approximately 35–40 minutes.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Chabako {{!}} |url=https://chanoyu.world/chabako/ |access-date=2024-04-12 |language=en-US}}</ref>

==={{transliteration|ja|Hakobi temae}}===

{{nihongo||運び手前|Hakobi temae}} is so called because, except for the hot water kettle (and brazier if a sunken hearth is not being used), the essential items for the tea-making, including even the fresh water container, are carried into the tea room by the host as a part of the {{transliteration|ja|temae}}. In other {{transliteration|ja|temae}}, the water jar and perhaps other items, depending upon the style of {{transliteration|ja|temae}}, are placed in the tea room before the guests enter.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=2022-05-08 |title=Japanese Tea Ceremony - Japanese Clothing |url=https://japanese-clothing.com/blogs/japanese-clothing-blog/japanese-tea-ceremony |access-date=2024-04-12 |language=en-US}}</ref>

==={{transliteration|ja|Obon temae}}===
{{nihongo||お盆手前|Obon temae}}, {{nihongo||盆手前|bon temae}}, or {{nihongo||盆略手前|bonryaku temae}} is a simple procedure for making {{transliteration|ja|usucha}} (thin tea). The tea bowl, tea whisk, tea scoop, {{transliteration|ja|chakin}} and tea caddy are placed on a [[tray]], and the hot water is prepared in a kettle called a {{transliteration|ja|[[tetsubin]]}}, which is heated on a brazier. This is usually the first {{transliteration|ja|temae}} learned, and is the easiest to perform, requiring neither much specialized equipment nor a lot of time to complete. It may easily be done sitting at a table, or outdoors, using a thermos pot in place of the {{transliteration|ja|tetsubin}} and portable hearth.<ref name=":0" />

==={{transliteration|ja|Ryūrei}}===
In the {{nihongo||立礼|ryūrei}} style, the tea is prepared with the host seated on a chair at a special table, and the guests also seated on chairs at tables. It is possible, therefore, for {{transliteration|ja|ryūrei}}-style {{transliteration|ja|temae}} to be conducted nearly anywhere, even outdoors. The name refers to the host's practice of performing the first and last bows while standing. In {{transliteration|ja|ryūrei}} there is usually an assistant who sits near the host and moves the host's seat out of the way as needed for standing or sitting. The assistant also serves the tea and sweets to the guests. This procedure originated in the Urasenke school, initially for serving non-Japanese guests who, it was thought, would be more comfortable sitting on chairs.<ref name=":0" />
