✨ New! Find Your Favorite Japanese Green Tea

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hi there Reader --

Today, I have two things to share!

First, let’s talk about green tea. When you think of Japanese green tea, matcha may be the first one that comes to mind. But in Japan, we enjoy many other types in everyday life! If you’d like to explore more varieties, my new guide breaks down five popular Japanese green teas and simple ways to enjoy them.

I’ve also launched an Amazon Storefront featuring my favorite cooking tools, pantry staples, and everyday essentials. I’ll continue adding more as I organize it, so please let me know if you have any questions or requests!
