About Us

Welcome to Senchoju

Some people drink matcha for the health benefits.
Some for the aesthetics.
Some because it looks good on Instagram.

But for me, it’s much deeper than that.

I grew up in a home where tea wasn’t special — it was normal.
We didn’t drink plain water — only tea.
Chinese tea, Vietnamese herbs, Taiwanese oolong, Korean barley, Japanese sencha… Tea was always there, always steeping, always part of life.
Tea wasn’t a drink. It was our water.

At first, I just drank it like everyone else.
Then, I started to like the taste.
But over time, something changed.

I remember sitting quietly with elders — watching the way they sipped slowly, mindfully, as if each drop carried the weight of a story.
Out of respect, I copied them.
But slowly, it became more than imitation.
I began to feel what they felt.

Moments would pass — silent, fleeting — where time seemed to soften.
Not long. Just a few seconds.
But in those seconds, something opened inside.
A stillness.
A remembering.

That’s the magic of tea.
It doesn’t ask.
It invites.
It draws you inward — gently, honestly.

And then, I found matcha.

Why matcha?
Because it’s raw. It’s vivid. It doesn’t hide.
The powder is pure. The flavor — bold, earthy, unfiltered.
It fits the soul of someone who’s been drinking tea their whole life and wants to taste truth.

It’s not casual. It’s not fast.
It’s sacred.

I remember spilling a bit once while preparing it.
It felt like I’d dropped gold.

Because with matcha, you don’t just drink it.
You prepare it.
You watch it.
You respect it.
You be with it.

Every step is a ritual.
Every sip is a pause.
And in that pause — something shifts.

When I moved to Canada, I longed for that feeling again.
Not just the taste — but the presence.
The space.
The silence in a noisy world.

So I created Senchoju.

Not as a brand.
But as a little sanctuary.
A quiet corner for modern souls.
For 9-to-5 hearts needing to breathe.
For curious minds longing for depth.
For anyone who’s ready to slow down — and sip something real.

📍 Authentic matcha from Japan.
✨ Shared from Vancouver.
For your mornings, your rituals, your glow.

Let’s drink to something deeper.
Let’s return to ourselves.
