What comes to mind when you think of Japanese drinks? Would you like to try Japanese green tea? Actually, many older Japanese people enjoy green tea every day—often several times a day. However, younger generations don’t drink green tea as much. Instead, we often enjoy mugicha, or barley tea. Made from roasted barley, it’s especially popular in summer and usually served cold.
Let’s dive into the real culture of Japanese green tea—and explore a refreshing new product from Lipton!
Green Tea in Japan: A Daily Ritual
As I mentioned above, older generations in Japan truly love green tea. My parents, for example, enjoy it during every break time at home. They take two breaks—around 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.—between breakfast, lunch, and dinner. At each break, they sip hot green tea while enjoying small treats. In fact, they even drink green tea during meals!
Let me introduce how green tea is usually prepared. You place green tea leaves into a Japanese-style teapot, add hot water, let it steep for a short while, and then pour the tea into a teacup. It’s a simple ritual, but one filled with comfort and care.
If you enjoy green tea like older generations do, you’ll need a lot of tea leaves! That’s why green tea leaves are often given as gifts, especially paired with traditional Japanese confections. A gift of tea leaves represents a warm heart and the wish for someone to enjoy a satisfying break, surrounded by the soothing aroma of green tea.
There are many varieties of green tea leaves in Japan, each with its own unique flavor and fragrance. Exploring them is like discovering the subtle beauty of everyday life.
Lipton Peach Green Tea
Lipton has launched a refreshing new type of green tea in Japan—Peach Green Tea! Can you imagine the flavor? It comes in a tea bag, just like regular tea, but the moment you open the pack, a sweet white peach aroma fills the air. It’s incredibly fruity and fragrant!
Unlike traditional green tea, which can be a little bitter, this blend is smooth and easy to drink—even for green tea beginners. If you close your eyes and smell it, you might think it’s not tea at all, but a fresh peach! 🍑 The aroma is so vivid, it feels like holding real fruit in your hands.
But here’s the surprise—once you take a sip, you’ll realize it’s unmistakably green tea. The peach flavor gently rises through your nose, while the green tea lingers warmly in your mouth. It’s a delightful balance of fruitiness and tradition.
And the best part? You can enjoy it both hot and iced! Whether you’re relaxing at home or cooling off in summer, this tea brings a new twist to Japan’s beloved green tea culture.
A Teabag Designed for Flavorful Moments
Lipton’s Peach Green Tea comes in a clever triangular teabag that lets the tea leaves dance freely inside. This shape helps release the full aroma and flavor of the blend—so every sip feels fresh and satisfying!
It’s like nestling into a lush green bush, surrounded by the scent of white peaches and gentle green tea. 🍑🌿 Why not treat yourself to a relaxing tea time with Lipton’s Peach Green Tea? Whether you enjoy it hot or iced, it’s a refreshing escape into fruity calm.
Enjoy it hot: Pour 200ml of hot water over the teabag and let it steep for 30 seconds. If you prefer a stronger flavor, steep for 2 to 4 minutes.
