   Sorate

   Dec 2019 — Present · US

   The idea for starting Sorate came to mind after a period when I felt physically and emotionally depleted by the pressures of life. I decided to take a solo road trip through Japan to decompress. Making my way across the Japanese countryside, I discovered that the best way to keep my feet on the ground was to practice simple daily rituals. At a family-owned tea farm near Kyoto, I learned that regular tea breaks were the key to a peaceful mind as I went about my day. Stability=Serenity. When I returned to the States, I brought the good habit of Green Tea drinking back with me. I cherish my daily moments of repose, when I block out all interruptions and meditate on the cup of tea in my hands and the gentle fragrance of my soul’s elixir. In Italy, we have a similar appreciation for the anchoring effect of our daily customs, like the energizing jolt of espresso at sunrise. It gives us a moment to see things clearly before we spring into action. Sorate is my love letter to Japan, which taught me mindfulness,and Italy, where I learned to appreciate the beauty in all things.Silvia MellaFounder and Creative Director
