Ways of Seeing - John Berger

Based on the groundbreaking BBC television series, John Berger’s Ways of Seeing is a timeless masterpiece that completely changed the landscape of art criticism. This book does not just teach you how to look at art—it reveals how visual culture, media, and advertising shape our thoughts, desires, and societal values.
Through seven unique essays—three of which are told entirely through images—Berger uncovers the hidden political, economic, and social ideologies behind the images we consume every day.

Matcha begins long before it is stone-milled into powder. Like wine grapes or coffee varietals, tea plants have different cultivars, distinct genetic varieties that shape flavor, aroma, texture, and character. Each cultivar carries its own personality.

Yabukita

The most celebrated and widely grown cultivar in Japan. Yabukita is known for its balance. It produces a smooth, approachable cup with gentle sweetness, fresh vegetal notes, and a clean finish. It forms the foundation of many exceptional matcha blends because of its consistency and harmony.

Okumidori

A rarer cultivar prized for depth and elegance. Okumidori develops a deeper emerald color, a softer bitterness, and a rich, lingering sweetness. It is often chosen for premium ceremonial matcha because of its creamy texture and refined umami.

Saemidori

Often called one of Japan's sweetest cultivars. Bright, vibrant, and naturally smooth with rich umami and almost no astringency. Highly prized for its refined and approachable character.

Only the youngest spring leaves are selected for premium matcha. After harvest, the leaves are steamed, dried, and carefully stone-milled into an exceptionally fine powder. It can take up to an hour for a traditional granite mill to produce just 30–40 grams of matcha.

We believe matcha is more than a drink. It is a meeting between agriculture, craftsmanship, and ritual. Every bowl begins with a cultivar, a season, a harvest, and a patient process refined over generations.
