I grew up in Shizuoka, Japan’s leading tea-producing region. From a young age I drank tea, joined the tea harvest, and was inspired by my grandmother, a matcha tea-ceremony teacher. Those years taught me that matcha is more than a drink — it is a tradition, a moment of calm, a way to appreciate simple beauty. Every bowl is whisked with care, and through our matcha we hope to share the spirit of Japanese wabi-sabi with Amsterdam.
