"If a man has no tea in him, he is incapable of understanding truth and beauty"
This centuries-old Japanese proverb is more than an adage—it is a philosophy that shapes our identity, here at Kissaten 喫茶店 . In the delicate interplay of flavors within a cup of tea, we see the profound truths of craftsmanship and the quiet beauty of life’s simplest moments.
We’re a heritage-driven brand inspired by Japan. We're starting with tea, and built to grow into a wider cultural experience.
Kissaten 喫茶店 was born from a desire to honor these truths. Inspired by Kyoto’s rich heritage, our teas are more than beverages, they are experiences, steeped in the wisdom of generational farmers who know that the finest teas require patience, precision, and heart.
Because truth and beauty, as the proverb suggests, are not found in haste—they reveal themselves to those who take the time to seek them.
