TEACOOD discovered the activity of a tea dye craftsman, Washizu, known as Washizu-san, thanks to him we were able to admire the artisanal technique born from his direct approach to tea dyeing, the lineage of the family tradition he inherited, as old as over 100 years and the fact that it has created a sustainable and consistent cycle in tea dyeing technique, where the raw tea material is properly returned to the ground after dyeing.
Main tea producing area in Japan

Project
TEA SHIRT : Limited Edition
The Japanese tea dye that achieves the complete cycle of sustainability.
Thus was born the creation of Japanese tea-dyed T-Shirts, thanks to another precious collaboration with the craftsman Washizu-san.
The "tea dyeing" technique was invented by combining Japanese Suruga dyeing, a traditional craft designated by Shizuoka City, and the tea industry, Shizuoka's greatest resource.
Washizu-san's work inspired us to present his creations in Italy promoting them as a part of the current Japanese tea culture.
The tea leaves boiled for dyeing are transformed into compost and put into circulation,
returning to the earth.
