MACHA MACHA
The Macha Macha tea room in Kreuzkölln on Hermannplatz in Berlin was the place to go for Japanese teas, or if you wanted to escape from everyday stress. It was a modern interpretation of typical Japanese tea rooms and was designed with the help of a Feng Shui master. Eric Spieckschen conveyed Japanese tea culture there at a level that would make any Japanese person envious. During his studies, Erik Spieckschen studied Japanese studies as a second subject and spent some time in Japan. After Eric quit his job, he went on a pilgrimage through Japan. Here he was inspired to let Berliners enjoy Japanese tea and to offer them a place where they can get to know and celebrate Japanese tea culture. Water plays a major role, especially when it comes to tea. Eric visited us in our loft in 2014 and together we spent several hours testing different teas with different water qualities. Eric still prepares the high-quality teas with filtered and revitalized water from us, both privately and in his tea room. Unfortunately, Macha Macha has been closed since 2020 and you now have to fly back to Japan for such a special tea location.
