What We Do
- Sharing teas rooted in land and people
We select whole-leaf teas from Yunnan, Taiwan, and China that reflect terroir, craftsmanship, and seasonal character returning to flavor in its truest form. - Upholding the rhythm and value of traditional brewing
We promote the traditional multi-step teapot method, where each steep reveals a new layer like watching a film unfold. - Cultivating a tea-centered lifestyle and aesthetics
Beyond tea, we curate teaware, incense, books, and host exhibitions and courses that connect tea with calligraphy, ceramics, lacquerware, stones, bonsai, and more. - Reinterpreting and sharing culture through practice
Tea culture isn’t meant to be preserved behind glass. It must live through experience, dialogue, and daily practice.
The Mission of Nikko Hill
At Nikko Hill, we believe that tea is more than a beverage it is a proposal for a way of living. We begin with tea as a starting point for a life that is more connected to the body, the land, and culture. In a world that prioritizes speed and convenience, we choose slowness, depth, and sensitivity.
Only through waiting and attention can we fully experience the depth of a single cup,
and rediscover the care and beauty often overlooked in everyday life. We care not only about flavor, but about the full sensory and spiritual experience that tea can offer:
the pace of brewing, the texture of tools, the atmosphere of the room, the touch of the hand, the awareness of the body and the conversations in between.
What We Believe
- A cup of tea can be a gateway into awareness, care, and presence.
- The beauty of tools connects the hand and the eye, grounding us in mindful stillness.
- Culture endures not through preservation, but through circulation and living dialogue.
