Recently, an increasing number of companies are working on health management and well-being management in order to secure and retain human resources and improve employee productivity. In order to respond to these social needs, this service creates new lifestyle habits in the office through tea, and supports the improvement of workers’ own well-being by improving their mental and physical health and revitalizing communication, as well as the well-being management of companies. It’s a thing.
In the tea ceremony, it is important for the host and the guest to communicate, and they are expected to be considerate towards each other. This spirit has been inherited in Japan’s hospitality. Tea plays a role in bringing people together in daily life, and Japanese people have cherished spiritual connections and a sense of harmony by drinking tea with family and friends. By creating a tea room in the office that is suitable for modern times, we aim to improve the well-being of workers through high-quality connections with people, and at the same time provide an experience that will pass on the spirituality and culture that has been cultivated in Japan to the future.
Furthermore, by promoting new forms of tea consumption in offices, we will contribute to the sustainable development and growth of Japan’s tea industry, which is suffering from an aging population and a lack of successors.
