We believe that community is the heartbeat of our existence. Join us in fostering a sense of togetherness as we celebrate the vibrant tapestry of local talent, engaging workshops, and memorable special events that make our community truly extraordinary.

Hiwa Tea is owned and operated by Japanese native, Yukiko Vossen. When not performing music (her other passion) she brings authentic Japanese teas and kimonos local to Oregon. Join us as she shares some of Japans culture. This special event will feature handmade kimono, obi's, authentic Japanese tea to taste, along with Matcha sweets, rice balls and tea for sale.

About Hiwa:

Throughout the four seasons in Japan, the Japanese drink all kinds of green tea, each with its own color variation. The hues are both subtle and complex: golden yellow, light green, dark green, and even dark brown.

Their special tea selections are named Hiwa, which means “Gold Finch” in Japanese. Hiwa is a reference to the golden hue of their tea. 

In our busy daily life, making tea for relaxation offers us a moment to calm our spirits and contributes to the Zen feeling of nichi nichi kore koujitsu: every day is a good day.
