Watches the brief spring season of Anji baicha: compares young leaves and notes which row turned green first.
The story / Anczi
After the season, he returns to his notes. Precise, early, unhurried. By default he feels that there is little time and that rushing is not an option, and that is exactly the state in which he is calm: the short season does not trouble him, a lost hour does.
Anczi / Collection
Anczi visits the tea rows in a brown wrap outfit with an ochre panel. Individual straight Anji baicha shoots rest in his narrow bamboo tray.
A cream poncho and jade knit trousers accompany his morning tasting. Straight shoots show through the glass, with a small cup and tray in his other paw.
In pale denim inspired by orSlow, Anczi carries a thermometer and a small notebook. A flat case at his hip protects the straight tea shoots.
A cream cape and wide culottes create a quiet look inspired by TOTEME. Anczi holds a pale infusion and a case of neatly arranged shoots.
A pale touring jacket with sage panels suits his spring route. Anczi carries tea in a flask and straight shoots in a rigid side case.
Anczi is ready for the road: a long green-and-white shoot, a partly open helmet and gloves shaped for his undivided paws. A tea case is secured to his gear.
Anczi slowly turns a HARIO bottle towards the light, revealing his own cold infusion of Anji baicha, a green tea. Both undivided paws support the glass and base; the leaves stay inside the closed bottle. A loose pale shirt and blue-green shorts create a relaxed contemporary outfit, while his single tall shoot and mouthless face preserve his distinctive form.
On a day away from the brief spring season, Anczi tries another green tea: Japanese matcha from Ippodo. In a wide bowl, he uses a bamboo whisk to raise a fine green foam. This is the personal experiment of an attentive tea lover; his main story remains rooted in Anji baicha.
00 / Original form
One tall white-and-green shoot rises above a milk-white face with small dark eyes and no mouth. Green returns only at the lower legs and feet.
