From the café

A little rikyū.
In your own kitchen.

Some days it’s a slowly whisked bowl. Others, an iced latte on the way out. We wanted a collection with room for both.

Our first release brings together three Japanese matchas from Uji and Kagoshima, each with its own character. The idea is simple: choose by what you enjoy drinking, not by how complicated the label sounds.

The café is in Palo Alto. Your next cup can be anywhere.

On the shelf

Three colours. One collection.

Navy for Reserve, white for Signature, moss for Muse. Each keeps the same rikyū symbol and wordmark, with the matcha name and origin beneath. Quiet enough to leave out on the counter; distinct enough to reach for the right one.

How should I store it?
