Hello from WACHA.

Autumn is deepening, and a warm cup of tea feels especially comforting.
We hope you're keeping well.

Before the bustle of the year-end season begins, it's good to make a little room for a quiet pause 🌿
We hope you can find a little time in your day to slow down with a warm cup of tea.

We're still working on new matcha behind the scenes,
testing batch after batch and looking forward to the day we can share it with you 🍵

In the meantime, we've made something that offers a different way
to experience Japanese culture.

Our browser game The Tea Bowl That Traveled Time is out!

It's the second title in our TEA RPG series, following Sen no Rikyu in Wonderland.
It's free to play on your phone or computer.

The story begins like this.

One day, the world began to lose its time for tea.

A peddler in a grey robe appeared, wearing the kindest face imaginable, and whispered:

"I'll hold that time for you."

The few minutes before the water boils.
The few seconds spent turning a tea bowl.

Small moments that seem easy enough to live without —
and so, people simply hand them over 🍵

Once again, you play as Sen no Rikyu.

Glowing tea bowls lie scattered across different eras.
As you search for them, you begin to restore the lost moments of tea, one by one.

The bowls glow with the memory of tea shared with someone.

And as always, there's no combat.
All Rikyu carries is a tea bowl and hot water ☺️

If you have a few spare minutes on a long autumn evening,
we'd love for you to step into the story.

Thank you, as always, for being with WACHA.
