About the Organization

Sakura Cha Meet is a UN Alliance member NGO that promotes the Japanese harmony concept through "Tea Diplomacy".

We started the conversation by sharing the Japanese Tea Ceremony concept with the world. Additionally, on International Tea Day, we are collaborating with food, beverages, flower, textile, and Japanese garden communities.

Their everyday actions are the example of the Japanese harmonious way of living that Sakura Cha Meet tries to be a platform for.
