Tea and Rain: A Story in Silence

Tea and Rain — A Story in Silence

On a rainy afternoon, with a steaming bowl of tea in hand, the world seems just a little kinder.
This Kuukan tea is not just for quenching your thirst.
It is a story that falls quietly into your heart like raindrops.

The sound of rain is the breath of tea

The sound of rain hitting the roof resembles the quiet rhythm of making tea.
The sound of the tea whisk circling around inside the tea bowl.
This, combined with the sound of rain caressing the leaves, makes it seem as if nature is making tea.

At a tea ceremony on a rainy day, words don't have to be too many.
Rather, it is in silence that the flavor of the tea permeates deeply.

Tea on a rainy day opens up memories

When it rains, old memories can suddenly come back to me.
The veranda of my grandmother's house, the wet cobblestones, the smile visible through the steam.
Tea time on a rainy day gently brings back such memories.

For example, there is a tea called "Amane."
It is a taste that quietly moistens the soul, like softly falling rain.
We want to provide young people with an experience that will gently open the door to such memories.

What Tea and Rain Teach Us

Tea and rain share a common philosophy.
It's the "beauty of what's lacking."
Although it's not as gorgeous as a sunny day,
Tea on a rainy day has space and tranquility.

It may be in that space that people can come face to face with themselves.
And you may be able to quietly connect with someone.
