Japanese Tea Ceremony : Listening to Rain- A moment of Fusion with Nature

No prior knowledge required — Complete beginners are warmly welcome!
You sit comfortably in chairs, and each guest receives a bowl of high-quality matcha and special sweets.

In New York, June brings warm, sunny days that mark the start of summer.
In Japan, however, June is known as Tsuyu (梅雨), the early summer rainy season. These gentle rains nourish the land and help nature flourish. In Japanese culture, rain is not seen as something to endure but as a blessing.
This deep appreciation for rain resonates with a Japanese aesthetic that honors the unique beauty of each season—a sensibility that finds its perfect expression in the practice of tea.
June’s beauty unfolds in the delicate sound of raindrops, the soft patter on rooftops, the shimmer of wet leaves, and the rhythm of an occasional downpour. These moments naturally create a calm, reflective atmosphere ideal for tea.
For this special gathering, we have prepared rain-inspired tea utensils, confections specially crafted for the occasion, and premium matcha imported from Japan.
We invite you to savor the tea with all your senses—its taste, aroma, and vibrant appearance. As you do, attune yourself to the gentle presence of rain filling the tea room.
Through this experience, may you discover a quiet “fusion with nature” and the rich abundance it brings. We hope you enjoy a peaceful moment of tea while appreciating the beautiful blessing that rain offers.
