What they said
“Japanese and Taiwanese tea each embody distinct aesthetic sensibilities. Japanese tea values the time spent with a single cup, quietness, and the beauty of emptiness. Taiwanese tea celebrates human connection and the culture of enjoying each region's distinct tea character.”
日本茶と台湾茶には、それぞれ異なる美意識があります。日本茶には、一杯のお茶と向き合う時間や、静けさ、余白を大切にする美しさ。台湾茶には、人と人とのつながりや、土地ごとに異なる茶の個性を楽しむ文化があります。
“The Gōcha series does not compare or elevate one tea culture over the other, but rather aims for the two cultures to meet within fragrance through the shared language of 'tea.'”
「合茶シリーズ」は、日本茶と台湾茶を比較したり、どちらかを引き立てたりするのではなく、「茶」という共通の言葉を通して、二つの文化が香りの中で出会うことを目指しています。
