Hi, everyone! There is a gift-giving custom in Japan. The summer gifts are called "
ochugen", and the year-end gifts are "
oseibo". We present gifts to someone who has done something for you like a teacher, a boss, relatives or business contacts. Green tea is one of popular item for
ochugen or
oseibo.

We are not exemplary people to follow this custom, but at least we want to present the gifts to our tea master. So, the other day we went to a tea shop in my town to look for the summer gift for her. The tea shop has a lot of selection of tea,
sencha, hojicha, matcha, genmaicha, oolong, and so on. I always get little excited in the large selection. They even have many choices for
sencha. We got two packages of tea, fine
sencha and
kabusecha.
Kabusecha is a nice tea; it’s like in between
gyokuro and
sencha. I hope our master will like them.
Take care!
