The tea ceremony is an ancient and fascinating ritual that takes place in rooms with essential furnishings and soft lighting. It is considered something between the sacred and the profane. Superstudio is proud to feature a protagonist of excellence, Shizuoka tea, which is grown in the Shizuoka prefecture in central Japan. This region is home to the majestic Mount Fuji and Suruga Bay, and accounts for 40% of the country’s total green tea production. Kenzo Terada is a Japanese tea sommelier from Shizuoka, who aims to promote the high-quality teas of his native city worldwide. He opened Teaste IT in Milan, where he offers his customers traditional tea services, tastings, and great teas, including matcha from Shizuoka. Terada has now brought his products and knowledge to a real Cha Shitsu (tea house in Japanese) at Superstudio Più.
