In Japan, tea is not just a drink.
It is history, philosophy, medicine, and hospitality — all in one quiet cup.
Most visitors focus on sushi, ramen, or cherry blossoms.
But there is something far more deeply woven into everyday life: Japanese tea.
From Buddhist monks who first brought tea seeds across the sea,
to samurai who shaped the philosophy of wabi-sabi,
to the simple cup of green tea you receive for free at a restaurant —
This is the story behind the drink many tourists overlook.
And yes…
in many places in Japan, tea is served for free.
But it is not “just free tea.”
It is a silent gesture of welcome.
In this 10-minute calm documentary,
we explore the quiet history and meaning of Japanese tea —
sencha, matcha, genmaicha, hōjicha —
and why understanding it changes how you see Japan.
Slow down.
Listen.
And drink more carefully.
