Teas provide happy time with our precious ones.
I’d like to recommend teas as candidates of Christmas present for your precious ones.

Teas and confections on a table are the important catalysts to promote sweet or funny chin music over tea cups.
Shizuoka has many items related teas for Christmas present, which make an excellent atmosphere for our happy time.

(1) Tea-Confections
“Marifuku”, cold DAIFUKU containing sweet soybean paste and tea cream, such as matcha, roasted green tea. This is presented by “Gasho-an”.

“Chaso”, baked matcha cake.

These won a prize of “Shizuoka Food Selection”.

(2) Sparkling Green Tea presented by JA-Hainan youth club.
“Sparkling Green Tea”, developed by JA-Hainan youth club, has delicate sweetness, tea flavor and sophisticated aftertaste with brisk mouthfeel. This recalls an established white wine. This beverage contain no alcohol, thus children can also enjoy such rich taste.

(3) Combination of teas and fruits
Fruits can enhance not only tea flavor, visual quality also.
The combination of dried fruits and Japanese black tea can create synergy aroma, in my opinion.

It is interesting to use an ice including dried fruits for black tea.

This method can be applied to “Koori Gyokuro”.

In this case, I used salted cherry blossom.

For “Koori Gyokuro”, YUZU citrus can be used together.
Salty taste and sour taste can enhance “umami” of teas.

In the end, I’d like to attach a pdf file of Christmas card, which I used for my friends in the year-end party.

I wish you would have a sweet Christmas with your precious ones and teas!
