Which brand do you choose as a present?

Uji Shincha 50g Bag

What do you like about it?

These bags contain five servings, which is just the right amount to allow you to use it up and savour it while it tastes good. With shincha, the key is its seasonal fragrance, so you want people to enjoy it right away. It’s not a tea for keeping to drink later.

How do you present it?

I give the same person several 50g bags of shincha. Each contains an amount small enough for people who are not regular drinkers of Japanese tea to use up. Having several bags enables them to share it with their family and friends, too. That way, everyone can enjoy this wonderful fragrance and taste of spring.

Which brand do you choose as a present?

One-Pot Teabag Shincha

What do you like about it?

With One-Pot Teabag Shincha, I know my friends will be able to easily enjoy the authentic taste of shincha, regardless of whether they have a kyusu.

How do you present it?

The package with its yellow highlights is adorably designed. I give it to friends in an Ippodo bag together with madeleines, which allow the distinctive verdant fragrance and slightly bitter taste of shincha to be fully savoured.

Which brand do you choose as a present?

Uji Shincha 146g Can w/box

What do you like about it?

I buy springtime shincha at the discounted pre-order price. With its green and white design, the can does a great job of evoking the wonderful feel of early summer.

How do you present it?

I give it to my old college friends who are important to me. We live far away from each other, lead very different lifestyles, and rarely get together, but I make a point of sending them shincha, which is exclusive to spring, as a seasonal gift.
