Hatsuga Hatomugi Tea

Of course, the hot (and cold) beverage Japan is mostly known for is green tea, particularly the matcha variety also used in the tea ceremony. But the Japanese drink all kinds of herbal beverages, including regular black tea, oolong tea, barley tea (mugicha), and hatomugi (Job's tears) tea. Widely used in China and all over East Asia for thousands of years, it is one of the region's superfoods and considered particularly good for the skin, helping with warts, blemishes, and roughness. The Hatsuga Hatomugi Tea is a good way to try this for yourself and see if it delivers on its promises!

And it isn't a huge investment either: the Hatsuga Hatomugi Tea pack contains three teabags, each with 3 grams (or 0.1 ounce) of premium hatomugi grown in Tochigi Prefecture, one of the major Job's tears cultivation areas in Japan. The variety in this set has increased amino acids and reduced bitterness for a fuller and smoother taste. Prepare it as you would prepare regular tea, i.e., pour boiling water on it, let it brew for 2-3 minutes, and then enjoy when the temperature has dropped a little. This tea will soon become a daily habit – and a healthy one, since it doesn't contain any caffeine!
