What brand do you enjoy drinking outside?

One-Pot Teabag Kuki Hojicha

Where do you like to enjoy it?

One of the things I look forward to on my days off is taking hojicha to my son's high school rugby matches and enjoying it during the game.

Why do you choose it?

A One-Pot Teabag is just the right size for my travel flask (360 ml). All I have to do is put hot water and one teabag into my flask, which is really easy and convenient. The tea warms me up from the inside out, which is important because most days during rugby season are cold. Aromatic hojicha is great for calming my nerves when tensions are running high. It also helps to get me fired up and root for my team. The team slogan is “Fight to a Finish!!”

Matcha To-Go Packets

Where do you like to enjoy it?

It's good for taking a break to wind down after I get home from work.

Why do you choose it?

I like to have a peaceful moment after the evening meal. At times like that, I use a drip tea bag to make a cup of hojicha. The hojicha aroma billows out as soon as you pour on the hot water, and that seems to take away the day's worries and cares. The roasted aroma really helps me to wind down.

What brand do you enjoy drinking outside?

One-Cup Teabag Sencha

Where do you like to enjoy it?

One-Cup Teabags are great to take with you when travelling by train. They provide you with Japanese tea while riding the train as well as at your destination, which makes the trip even more enjoyable.

Why do you choose it?

One-Cup Teabags allow you to prepare Japanese tea quickly, which comes in particularly handy when you're running short on time. Before you leave home, particularly in summer, just put two or three One-Cup Teabags of sencha in a travel flask filled with cold water (360 ml), and off you go. The tea will be just right for drinking after an hour, when you're on the train. Slip these small, compact One-Cup Teabags into a pocket on your bag, and you'll be able to prepare Japanese tea when you have time at the hotel or the following day. It's much easier and more convenient than taking tea with you or buying it at your destination. I highly recommend it.
