We present Japanese tea and matcha as part of the Drinking Heals Collection. In Japan, there is a traditional practice called IPPUKU —a brief moment to reset the mind and body, often by drinking a cup of matcha or tea, and sometimes by smoking a cigarette. This project reinterprets IPPUKU in a modern context, presenting Japanese tea in cigarette-style packaging as an artistic and mindful alternative. Inspired by the familiar tobacco warning “ Smoking Kills ” , we propose a new message: “ Drinking Heals ,” positioning Japanese tea as a beautiful and healthy ritual.
Blended from organic lemongrass and deeply roasted organic hojicha from Kumamoto, this tea offers a perfect balance of refreshing aroma and toasty flavor. Lemongrass helps with relaxation and stress relief, soothing both the mind and body. It also offers benefits such as aiding digestion, antibacterial properties, boosting immunity, and detoxifying. This refreshing and pleasant tea is perfect for a revitalizing moment or after a meal.

The lemongrass adds such a refreshing touch. I’ve been drinking it every night as part of my wind-down routine, and it’s really helped me sleep better.
