Refresh Your Summer with Shizuoka Cold Brew Green Tea
Summer in Japan is hot, humid, and surprisingly intense. In many parts of the country, temperatures can reach 40°C (104°F).
While many people think of iced coffee or soft drinks, the Japanese have long enjoyed something much simpler—a refreshing glass of cold brewed green tea.
This month, your Onsen Box includes Shizuoka Matcha-Infused Cold Brew Sencha, one of Japan’s favorite summer beverages.
From Japan’s Tea Capital
Shizuoka is Japan’s most famous tea-growing region, producing high-quality green tea for generations.
This tea blends fragrant Shizuoka sencha with rich Japanese matcha, creating a smooth, refreshing drink with a naturally vibrant green color.
Why Cold Brew?
Cold brewing brings out a softer, sweeter flavor than hot brewing.
The result is a tea that is:
- Smooth and refreshing
- Naturally less bitter
- Rich in fresh green tea aroma
- Perfect for hot summer days
Simply place one tea bag in 500 ml (17 oz) of cold water and let it steep in the refrigerator for a few hours. You can also enjoy it hot during cooler mornings or evenings.
A Japanese Summer Ritual
After a relaxing bath, many Japanese people enjoy a cold drink to refresh both body and mind.
A glass of chilled green tea pairs perfectly with this month’s Japanese bath products, creating a simple wellness ritual you can enjoy at home.
Take a slow sip, relax, and experience one of Japan’s favorite ways to cool down during summer.
We hope this refreshing tea brings a little taste of Japanese summer into your everyday life.
