Upon arriving in France,
I saw that Japanese cuisine was very popular.
Sushi, ramen, matcha… It made me happy.
But little by little, I felt a slight disconnect.
One day, in a café, I tried a matcha latte.
It left me a bit confused.
"Green tea" was everywhere.
But rarely the Japanese green tea I knew.
Of course, adapting is normal.
In Japan, too,
curry and ramen
come from elsewhere.
Every country transforms, interprets, and appropriates.
Here, just like in Japan.
That is the life of recipes.
But despite everything,
a feeling persisted.
I searched for a long time.
A really long time.
Without finding it.
So, I made a decision.
That is how Nattie and TAMAKI TEA's adventure began.
The story of TAMAKI TEA
When I arrived in France, I spoke almost no French.
In moments of doubt, it was Japanese tea that connected me to my home country and brought me comfort.
From this experience, TAMAKI TEA was born: a brand that believes in the quiet power of tea.
