​Discover the timeless tradition of matcha

The Zen of Matcha:

A Journey to Inner Peace

Centuries ago, in the temples of Kyoto, monks sought a way to center their minds and prepare their spirits for meditation. At She's, we believe in the ability to pause, breathe, and savor the present moment, 

not in the material abundance. Through She’s Tokyo Box, we bring you to the tranquility of a Zen,

where every sip is a step closer to harmony.

The Origin of Matcha

A Meditative Practice

in Zen Rituals

DSCN7313.JPG

In Japanese culture, the pairing of Wagashi and Matcha is more than just a taste experience; it’s a meditative practice rooted in the centuries-old traditions of mindfulness and harmony, history dates back to the 12th century when it was introduced to Japan by Buddhist monks initially used in Zen rituals. 

Matcha in Japanese Culture

A Symbol of

Harmoney and Respect

The Japanese tea ceremony, or chanoyu, is a profound cultural practice centered around matcha. It represents the spirit of wabi-sabi—the beauty of imperfection and transience. Sharing a cup of matcha is seen as an act of connection and respect, embodying the principles of harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility.
