🍵 What is Ocha? More than just tea.
In Japan, ocha is more than a drink. It’s part of everyday life—bringing moments of calm, enhancing focus, fostering connections, and creating a sense of balance and well-being.

Rooted in centuries of tradition and nurtured by nature, Japanese tea brings a little more mindfulness and well-being to every cup.

At ochamode, we invite you to discover the beauty of ocha, one sip at a time. 🌿

A little about my journey to 🍵
Growing up in Shizuoka, Japan, ocha was always part of my everyday life. After years away from my hometown, I found myself returning to the rituals I grew up with and rediscovering what ocha meant to me.

That journey eventually became ochamode🌱

Now based in the San Francisco Bay Area, I hope to share the ocha lifestyle with you, one cup at a time 🍵

We’ll be at Edible Atlas tomorrow✨

A celebration of the Bay Area’s diverse cultures and stories through food 🌎

We’re excited to share a taste of Shizuoka, Japan, and our ocha culture with you 🍵💚

🌱Our Story🌱
I am Mayuka, the founder of ochamode. I grew up in Kikugawa, Shizuoka, a town known for being the heart of Japan’s green tea production and culture for more than 800 years🍵🏔️ Indeed, for me, ocha is a way of life.
As a child, my mornings began with Fukamushi Sencha, and I gargled with Sencha at school to prevent colds.
During tea harvest season, I also enjoyed soba and tempura made with tea leaves. After living in Tokyo, New York, and the SF Bay Area, I realized how these tea rituals connected me to my community and my health.

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led me to rediscover ocha’s immune-boosting benefits, and I returned to my old habits. I recognized the scientifically backed health and beauty benefits of ocha. This moment united my roots with my desire to improve others’ well-being.
Through ochamode, I aim to share our ocha lifestyle with you by bringing organic, high-quality ocha from farmers in my hometown of Shizuoka.

With each sip, may you infuse the ocha lifestyle with your own🍵
