The Four Principles of Japanese Tea

Harmony, respect, purity and tranquility are celebrated in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony and can be honored in our modern tea rituals.

  • Harmony

    Harmony

    The art and ceremony of tea is found in moments of harmony with another. Share tea with others, when possible. Treasure what could be a once-in-a-lifetime occasion with somebody else.

  • Purity

    Purity

    Tea is grown in the pureness of nature and extends its elements to you. Celebrate the purity of the body’s state of calm from properties like L-theanine and other antioxidants that support wellness.

  • Respect

    Respect

    Tea leaves are objects of deliberate care and implore your respect. Handle them attentively. Have reverence for their hand-rolled integrity and always brew in homage to tradition.

    The tea moment is valued for its natural simplicity. Use the time to invite personal contemplation and meditation into your day. Find comfort and clarity in the beauty of the moment.
