I started “Anywhere Tea Ceremony”.
*“SENSE OF
“MATCHA” is a lifestyle brand that proposes incorporating “Matcha Zen” into your daily life and living a rich life. We have recently started a service called “Anywhere Tea Ceremony” to directly deliver “Matcha Zen” to everyday life. *
I was a tea ceremony guest at the Lakeside Summer Vacation held at Lake Shirakaba.
・Incorporating “Matcha Zen” into your daily life will lead to well-being – A strong tea experience that maximizes concentration and relaxation at the same time.
– Also suitable for management training camps, event content, and welfare programs. *Able to travel anywhere in the country*
The “Matcha Zen” we propose is a ritual developed by combining the efficacy of matcha with the philosophy of Zen.
*Efficacy of “koicha”*
* It has been scientifically proven that the synergistic effects of caffeine and theanine in matcha can improve concentration, have a relaxing effect, have antidepressant effects, and reduce stress.* . *1 Also, based on the fact that the ratio of theanine is adjusted to three times that of regular matcha, it is more effective *2. At our Matcha Zen, we offer “strong tea”* that further maximizes concentration and relaxation.
*What is “Matcha Zen”*
In our Matcha Zen, we sharpen our five senses and enjoy the experience of facing ourselves through the five stages of “purify,”
“condition,” “face,” “express,” and “give thanks,” while utilizing the concentration and relaxation that can be obtained from matcha. I’ll have it.
* 5 stages of Matcha Zen *
1. Purify
In the tea ceremony, we begin by “purifying” ourselves, bringing ourselves into a flat state. Cleanse your hands and mouth with pure water, and through physical purification, you will also purify your mind.
Through the purification process, we show respect for the tools and space, and encourage preparation and concentration for the tea ceremony.
1. Arrange
You can actually taste “koicha”.
By sharing a bowl, everyone creates a bond and experiences the spirit of “Japanese” in the tea ceremony.
Using the highest quality matcha, the deep flavor and efficacy of matcha will help you concentrate and relax, calming your mind.
One, face each other
Experience the “Mindfulness Tea Ceremony” where you face yourself. Create a stable state of mind through meditation experience, You can gain a deeper understanding of your own emotions, thoughts, and reactions, and listen to your inner voice.
1. Express
Express your inner feelings through drawing and notebook work. After going through the steps up to this point, you will have a clearer understanding of what you feel and think,
You will be able to produce clearer output than in your usual environment.
One, thank you
Finally, the Matcha Zen experience concludes with a “thank you ceremony” to express gratitude for everyday life and the current situation.
Through “Matcha Zen”, by carefully enjoying each of your five senses, you can quiet the voices in your head and experience the feeling of being able to “relax and concentrate on things.”
“Matcha Zen” is a means of manifesting thoughts and feelings and activating creativity.
Our rituals are designed to be practiced even in the busy lives of modern people.
By incorporating this series of processes into your daily life, you will be able to understand yourself and be mentally satisfied. We believe that the accumulation of these efforts will lead to well-being. * Started providing “Anywhere Business Tea Ceremony” service* Until now, the “Matcha Zen” experience had been done by visiting a tea room.

SENSE OF
MATCHA brand owner, matcha ritual master. Through the experiences of his family and friends, he became keenly aware that mental health is a major issue in modern society, and while searching for a solution, he came across the tea ceremony. While learning the tea ceremony, he sympathized with Sen no Rikyu’s way of thinking, and said that by mastering the tea ceremony, he would also like to solve problems at the same time.

comment
The tea ceremony gives us many insights. With just one awareness, your way of being and the way you perceive things will change, and the world will become more colorful. There are no limits. I believe that realizing this and enjoying change is the way of life that embodies the idea of “living life to the fullest.”
