Our Teas
Keiko Uchida offers what must be one of the highest quality, widest ranging and rarest collections of Japanese teas and Matcha available. This extraordinary selection is the result of Keiko’s frequent visits to Japan and her close relationships with tea merchants and independent tea growers.
Our Ceramics
The extraordinary relationship between pottery and the Tea Ceremony is at the heart of Keiko Uchida’s outstanding collection of Japanese ceramics, representing some of the key names of Japanese pottery, notable kilns and districts.
Home & Tea Ware
The world of Japanese tea unlocks a wealth of experiences, textures, practices and traditions. Using Keiko’s extensive knowledge and cultural experience, we have assembled a beautiful collection of Tea Ware and craft items, from Matcha whisks and tea caddies to bento boxes, lacquer ware and textiles.
The Japanese Tea Ceremony
Keiko Uchida is widely known for her Tea Ceremony Workshops, held at the Notting Hill store and at personal and special events around the world.
The Tea Ceremony is an all-encompassing art. Developed from Zen ritual in Japan, it is about much more than drinking a cup of Matcha tea. It offers an opportunity to explore the history and philosophy of the ceremony, the qualities of Matcha, and the traditional ways of making, serving and enjoying tea.
Keiko has been practising the Tea Ceremony for over 25 years, and was taught by Japanese masters before becoming a Tea Master herself. Her workshops offer everyone the chance to discover something meaningful and enjoyable within this ancient cultural practice.
Visit our Notting Hill Gallery
