At the Heart of Their Tradition
At the very heart of the tearoom’s philosophy lies an unwavering commitment to purity and character. Unlike conventional tea experiences, this atelier champions a diverse spectrum of rare, organically grown Japanese teas. Collaborating directly with small, dedicated farmers across Japan, this location curates an exceptional selection, celebrating the unique cultivars, distinct regional profiles, and varied processing methods that yield truly individual green teas. This is a rare pursuit, as only 6% of Japan’s tea production is organic.
The Way of Tea
Your private experience at the tearoom unfolds at an intimate blend of traditional tatami mats (sourced from Kyoto temples and shrines) and soft, designer lighting creates an atmosphere of contemplative beauty. Here, you will embark on a sensory exploration guided by knowledgeable tea artisans. They will meticulously brew your chosen organic teas in elegant earthen teapots right before you, revealing the nuanced personalities of each cultivar and harvest year. Complementing this exquisite tea journey are seasonal fresh Japanese sweets, crafted by local confectioners, alongside refined offerings like organic cacaos or vegan tarte tatins, all chosen to harmonize perfectly with the unique characteristics of the teas. This bespoke experience invites you to uncover new facets of traditional Japanese tea culture, savoring each sip and bite in an environment designed for profound aesthetic and gustatory pleasure.
The private engagement is more than an experience; it is an indulgence in Japan’s most refined cultural expression. For those who truly appreciate authenticity, exquisite taste, and a deep connection to a living tradition, we invite you to uncover a distinctive journey of flavor and tranquility in the very heart of Kyoto.
