🇯🇵 Tea & Coffee in Japan: Ceremony, Calm & the Modern Brew



Experience Beanji's Traditional Japanese Matcha

🍵 Where Every Sip Is Sacred

In Japan, tea is a quiet art form — deeply rooted in Zen, mindfulness, and thousands of years of tradition. From matcha ceremonies to high-tech vending cafés, Japan bridges ancient calm with modern caffeine culture.

🍃 The Way of Tea: Matcha, Mindfulness & Meaning

The Japanese tea ceremony, or chanoyu, is a highly refined ritual — from how water is poured to how the guest bows. Tea is made with powdered ceremonial-grade matcha, whisked with intention.

  • Matcha boosts focus without jitters
  • Sencha and genmaicha are daily staples
  • Tea is served in schools, meetings, even train stations

☕ Coffee in Japan: Fast, Fun & Futuristic

Despite its deep tea roots, Japan is also obsessed with coffee — from cozy kissaten (coffee houses) to futuristic cafés and cold brew vending machines. Japan’s coffee is:

  • Meticulously brewed — pour-over is king
  • Served with flair — latte art, siphon pots, robots
  • Often enjoyed cold — iced coffee and canned espresso

🐼 What Would Beanji Brew in Kyoto?

Beanji would kneel on a tatami mat, whisking matcha in a ceramic bowl under a cherry blossom tree. Later, he might sip cold brew beside a bamboo grove. Calm is both tradition and innovation in Japan.

  Beanji in India: The Chai That Hugs Your Soul Join Beanji's Spice Market Adventure in India Beanji the panda landed in India expecting spice — but he didn’t expect every cup of tea to taste like a story . From bustling city corners to misty mountain villages, his teacup never stayed empty for long. Because here, chai isn’t just tea — it’s how India says “welcome.” 🫖 Stop #1: Mumbai — Street Chai & City Buzz His first chai came from a clanking stall on a street in Mumbai. The chai wallah was a pro: milk boiling, spices steeping, glasses rattling. He poured the masala chai high from pot to cup like a waterfall — creamy, sweet, and just enough ginger to tickle Beanji’s whiskers. One sip and bam! — caffeine plus warmth? Instant hug. 🌄 Stop #2: Darjeeling — Chai in the Clouds In the cool hill stations of West Bengal, Beanji tasted first flush Darjeeling tea — delicate, floral, lighter than the masala blends. Locals called it the “Champagne of Teas.” Here, chai w...

  Beanji in Turkey: Tea, Talk, and Tulips When Beanji arrived in Turkey, he expected baklava. What he didn’t expect was how deeply tea — or çay — flowed through every corner of life. From the bustling bazaars of Istanbul to the tea-covered hills of Rize, Beanji quickly learned: in Turkey, you’re never alone with a glass of çay . 🕌 Stop #1: Istanbul — Street Tea & Simit Rings Beanji’s first encounter came in Istanbul. As he wandered through the Grand Bazaar, a shopkeeper waved him in — not to sell, but to share. A small, tulip-shaped glass of black tea arrived, hot and deep red. No milk. Just sugar cubes and warm conversation. “This,” the shopkeeper said, “is our welcome.” 🌿 Stop #2: Rize — Where Tea Grows Wild Curious where this magical tea came from, Beanji hopped a train east to Rize , Turkey’s lush tea capital along the Black Sea. There, he hiked through endless green hills covered in tea shrubs. Locals plucked leaves by hand. Beanji even helped — sort of (he mo...
