【Summer Gifting】For Ochugen and Seasonal Greetings: ISSO TEA Gift Sets That Weave a Story

As we enter July, the rainy season is drawing to a close. While gentle rain still dampens the streets, we are starting to feel the occasional warmth of the upcoming summer.

On the calendar, we have already reached the halfway point of the year. This is a season when opportunities to express our daily gratitude overlap—whether through Ochugen (traditional mid-summer gifts), seasonal greetings, or souvenirs for loved ones we haven't seen in a long time.

Listening to the sound of raindrops in the calm light of a rainy day while brewing tea mindfully. 
Or, quenching your thirst with a crisply chilled tea under the bright summer skies that lie ahead.

Our collection features a rich lineup, from Signature Sencha, Hojibo Roasted Tea, Genmaicha Roasted Rice Tea, Yutaka Midori Sencha, Lemongrass Green Tea, and Black Bean Hojicha—available in both teabag and leaf options—to our Ceremonial Grade Matcha.

One of the greatest pleasures of ISSO TEA is being able to change how you brew your tea depending on the weather and your mood at that very moment.

Along with a message of "Thank you, always," why not gift organic Japanese tea that is both healthy and beautiful, refreshing the daily lives of those who matter most to you?

ISSO TEA offers a wide variety of beautifully styled gifts tailored to any occasion, from Ochugen to casual seasonal greetings.

Gifts with a Story

The ISSO TEA Gift Collection is widely chosen not only for Ochugen but also as summer gifts and corporate gifts.

When we previously spoke with Mr. Oba, the representative of "Horinouchi Real Estate Co., Ltd.," who regularly uses ISSO TEA for corporate gifting, he shared this wonderful insight:

"ISSO TEA has a story behind it, which makes it easy to explain to customers why we chose it. It seems that those we've gifted it to have enjoyed drinking it with their children, noting that the packaging has a different feel from their usual tea." Giving tea is not just about handing over a product; it's about conveying gratitude and the wish for a moment of relaxation or healthy days ahead. ISSO TEA gifts are chosen as a catalyst for such warm communication. (From 【ISSO TEA x Horinouchi Real Estate】Gifts with a Story)

Gifting tea is more than just handing over an item. It is about delivering your gratitude, wrapped in the promise of a "moment of peaceful relaxation" and "wishes for a healthy daily life." ISSO TEA gifts are chosen as a catalyst for such warm, heartfelt communication.

The Shape of "Thoughtfulness"

At ISSO TEA, we focus not only on delicious taste and beautiful packaging, but also on creating products that care for the environment—the very foundation of our lives. Our pouches utilize "Biomass Film," which contains about 20% plant-derived raw materials, and our teabags are made from "Soilon," a biodegradable material that returns to the earth.

Our gifts are widely used for private gifting to family and friends, as well as corporate summer gifts and business greetings. We also offer Noshi (gift wrapping) for bulk orders. Please feel free to contact us with any questions
