Whispers of Tranquility

August 09, 2023

A Glimpse into the Tranquil Oasis:
Picture this - a crisp morning, the gentle rustling of leaves, and the ancient elegance of Daitokuji Temple forming the backdrop. Two weeks ago, on a serene (but hot!) Friday morning, we had the immense privilege of hosting an exquisite Tea Ceremony, curated by Tea Master, Keiko Kitazawa Koch.

Masterful Artistry Unveiled:
Under the expert guidance of Tea Master Keiko Kitazawa Koch with the help of her students from the Omotesenke school in New York, a truly magical experience unfolded. The centuries-old art of tea preparation was meticulously demonstrated, offering a glimpse into the intricate rituals and profound philosophy that lie at the heart of the Japanese Tea Ceremony.

A Symphony of Senses:
As the aroma of freshly prepared Sorate Kūsui Matcha wafted through the air, 300 attendees were drawn into a symphony of senses. Each movement, and each gesture, was choreographed with precision, creating an atmosphere of harmony and tranquility.

Creating Lasting Memories:
The camaraderie, the connection, and the shared appreciation for the art of tea will undoubtedly linger as a warm memory for years to come.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who joined us for this extraordinary event, and to the dedicated efforts of Tea Master Keiko Kitazawa Koch and the Omotesenke school students.

We proudly provide an immersive experience of traditional Japanese culture through our authentic tea ceremonies.

Matcha, like champagne, is crafted from specific cultivars, each contributing unique flavors. Sorate offers four cultivars: Yabukita (balanced, vibrant green), Samidori (deep green, mild), Asahi (rare, rich, creamy), and Okumidori (umami, bright green).

Single Cultivar matcha showcases one cultivar's traits, preferred by enthusiasts. Blended Cultivar matcha combines multiple cultivars for a balanced flavor, appealing to a broader audience. At Sorate, our diverse matchas highlight these unique flavors and qualities for a distinctive matcha experience.
