Leave your email, and I'll send word whenever there's a new story to share over tea. No noise — just a good cup's worth, now and then.
A link is on its way to your email.
Open it, and you're in.
MAISON YUKI is written from Japan. I look for shops abroad that care about their matcha, interview them one at a time, and write what they tell me against Japanese records and what I know from here.
There is a map of those shops, a journal of the interviews, and pages on the regions the tea grows in.
There is also a blog that goes deeper into Japanese tea itself — the leaf, the ceramics, the way it is served. Have a look at that too if it interests you.
Take your time. If something here raises a question, write to me.
