Green Tea is Not a Doctor (And That's Okay)

Yes, green tea has long been associated with calmness, focus, and balance. Yes, it's packed with natural goodness like antioxidants. But is it a miracle drink that will cure all your troubles? No — and it doesn’t need to be.

Tea is a part of life in Japan. We drink it when we’re happy, when we’re tired, when guests arrive, and when we just want a quiet moment. Not because of health claims — but because it feels good, it tastes good, and it’s always been there.

So, if you're not feeling well or something doesn't feel right, the best thing you can do is visit a doctor — not just change your drink. But if you’re looking for a small, beautiful ritual to add to your day? Then yes, a cup of green tea might be exactly what you need.
