about TEA TEA TEA
TEA TEA TEA is our modern proposal to the centuries old tradition of Japanese tea ceremony. This first starts with the highest quality Japanese tea. We hope to bring what we believe to be the finest tea from Japan into your daily life, while also providing an outlet to interact with everything surrounding a single cup of tea.

TEA TEA TEA (TTT) exists to have fun with all things surrounding but not limited to a single cup of tea.
TTT started as the three person creative practice of a father and two sons– Shingo, Mikuto, and Kio Murayama. With backgrounds in commercial photography, production, graphic design, editorial design, art, mechanical engineering, and off-grid living, the trio strives to bring their strengths together into one cohesive project.
The Murayama’s live and work in their respective locations of Los Angeles, Tokyo, and northern New Mexico to bring TTT to life.
