The long-awaited spring has arrived. These days, I'm feeling blessed by the warm, radiant weather. But on the flipside, the sudden drop in temperature and changes in my environment, like starting a new life, can make me more susceptible to illness, a yearly worry.

While searching for a solution, I discovered something called "Herb and Dried Fruits Tea" at Kit, a store in Jingu-Marutamachi, Kyoto, that sells mainly household goods.


"Herb and Dried Fruits Tea" is a prescription tea blended with herbs and dried fruits by aromatherapist maka to suit your physical condition and mood. It's available in a gift box with six varieties of tea, as well as individually. I chose the gift box this time because I wanted to try them all.


The lineup includes teas that are perfect for a variety of occasions, such as a sweet-smelling blend of dried lemon and linden that is sure to soothe tension, and a blend of peppermint and licorice that will leave you feeling refreshed after meals or during pollen season.

The first brew has the scent of flowers and herbs, and the second brew has the sweetness of dried fruit, so you can feel the change in flavor, making it a taste that you'll want to sip slowly over time.



And what's most noteworthy is the stylish packaging! The plastic bags strung together on string give it a somewhat ethnic feel, and we recommend hanging them up in your kitchen as a decoration and enjoying each flavor one by one.


By the way, the stamp casually pressed on the right edge of the box is apparently the work of stencil dyeing artist Seki Mihoko.

We hope this healthy tea with its outstanding visual appeal will help you enjoy a comfortable spring this year.
