The Sun, The Moon and The Sea
Our founder David Capuano, entranced by the millenary traditions that Mexico and Japan share, founded Mare in 2023 after having rigorously studied the ever marvelous, delicate and meticulous Japanese Tea Ceremony. In classic Sadō - Tea Ceremony, it is believed that the parents of life on earth are rooted in the Sun, The Moon and the Ocean. Each one serving a specific purpose, The Sun provides the energy for the plants to grow, The Moon pulls and gives the plants its vital energy, and the Ocean or Water is the element of nutrition. Combined these encapsule a unique experience that ever-resonates with the flow of time.
Mare lies deep in the roots of Sadō, The name Mexico, land that gives life to this new coffee concept, means “In the Center of the Moon”. Japan, also known as “The Land of the Rising Sun, and the Pacific Ocean connecting these two cultural powerhouses in a singular brand.
“Japan, Our Sun, Mexico Our Moon And We Are The Vessel That Join Them Together As The Ocean.”
Our Silver Moon
A simple, yet elegant design that brings Japan and Mexico closer than ever. Our Silver Moon takes inspiration on Japanese millenary lacquerware techniques and designs from Kanazawa, where gold leaf is often applied in a circle to represent the Sun. Mexico, as the country of the moon, renders itself silver when fusing itself with the Japanese ‘Maru’ motif. The fusion between Mexico and Japan manifests as a Silver Circle, or as we like to call it, our Silver Moon.
