HELLO MATCHA
ICE CREAM BAR & COFFEE SHOP
One of the most important staples in Japanese culture is the tree plant, camellia sinensis. Some of these plants are handled by human hands in order to make them produce higher concentrations of antioxidants. These grinded plants become matcha, the base product of the ice cream and coffee shop Hello Matcha.
There is a japanese legend where a rabbit sacrifices itself in order to help a wanderer get to his destination and in return his figured was placed on the surface of the moon. The rabbit is seen as the highest expression of selflessness. In other countries, such as Mexico, this animal is often associated with good luck and fortune. We combined this symbolic figure with the green essence of matcha, a constant reminder of the far east.
The elements found inside the rabbit ́s body are representations of utensils and objects related to the world of tea culture. The tattoo trace is a reference to the traditional Japanese art that symbolizes protection and spirituality since their emergence.

Existe una leyenda japonesa en donde un conejo se sacrifica a sí mismo para que un peregrino pueda llegar a su destino, a cambio su figura queda plasmada en la luna. El conejo es visto como la expresión máxima de la entrega. En otras países, como México, este animal se relaciona con la buena suerte y la fortuna. Combinamos esta figura simbólica con la esencia verde del matcha, un constante recordatorio de oriente.
Los elementos que se encuentran dentro del cuerpo del conejo son representaciones de utensilios y objetos relacionados con el mundo de la cultura del té. El trazo hace referencia a los tatuajes tradicionales japoneses que en su origen simbolizaban protección y espiritualidad.
