Teatime Around the World
This centuries - old tradition still appreciated today, began around the 15th century with Sen no Rikyu, a person responsible for giving rise and the flourishing of Japanese tea Ceremony culture. He is sometimes referred to as the saint of tea. Everything from the teahouse setting, utensils, sweet delicacies and to the tea itself, embodies the deep spirituality and aesthetics rooted in Japanese heritage. It is a traditional art to be enjoyed engaging all of the five senses.
Japanese Tea Ceremony
Koicha (thick tea) is made with a generous heaping of Matcha powder kneaded with a small amount of hot water.
Enjoying Koicha plays an important role as the highlight of Japanese tea ceremonies.
The color of this original ink by Sailor Pen is inspired by the enticing color of Koicha.
