Japan has many words and phrases related to tea. It makes me happy to think that tea is so deeply rooted in Japanese life. In this article, I will explain the proverb « Morning tea wards off the day’s troubles. »


Morning tea is said to bring good fortune for the day, meaning that drinking tea in the morning is auspicious and helps keep misfortune at bay. It’s quite a straightforward idea.

Actually, I love coffee as well and am usually a coffee person in the morning. I often rely on the bitterness and caffeine of coffee to wake me up. However, there are times when I simply crave tea in the morning, and on those occasions, I brew my favorite tea. On days when I have morning tea, it feels like the day goes smoothly, if not necessarily auspicious. It might be that I feel good because I wake up refreshed and start the day well, but this proverb resonates with me.

Lastly, let me introduce a couple of recommended morning teas. (Selected based on personal preference and bias.)

◎ Cold Brew KABUSE GREEN
Recommended for summer; it gently soothes your body in the morning.
Cold brewing doesn’t make the flavor too strong, so it’s pleasant even if you’re thirsty.
I switch from hot coffee to cold brew kabuse tea in July and August.

◎ Hot MISUGI BLACK
My go-to morning tea.
It has a good balance and isn’t too strong, making it enjoyable at any time.
Perfect for daily use.

That’s an explanation of morning tea’s good fortune and some recommendations for morning tea.
Morning tea can boost your mood, so definitely give it a try.
