Celebrate Love with 'Wild Herb Tea Time'
The pair gift brand
Meoto, based in Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture, will unveil its newest creation at the Bridal Industry Fair on June 9-10, 2026. This unique tea blend, named
Wild Herb Tea Time, features one type of wild plant paired with one type of herb, representing the beautiful union between men and women.
Through this creative blend,
Meoto captures the essence of how different tastes and aromas can come together in harmony. The inspiration behind the product revolves around the concepts of wild plants as 'wild men' and herbs as 'herb women', symbolizing the encounters in love. This enchanting tea blend not only promises a delightful taste but also narrates a charming story of pairing.
Unique Pairing of Ingredients
Each flavor pairing is distinct, starting with a blend of
Yomogi (Mugwort) and
Lemongrass. Yomogi, a familiar presence in Japanese fields, delivers a nostalgic aroma that balances sweetness with bitterness. On the other hand, Lemongrass, popular in Southeast Asian cuisines, provides a refreshing lemony scent that uplifts the spirit.
Next is the
Kumasasa (Bamboo Grass) paired with
Honeybush. The vibrant green of Kumasasa remains unmarred even in winter, while the sweet aroma reminiscent of honey and roses from Honeybush will surely brighten anyone’s day.
Finally, the pairing of
Mulberry Leaves and
Lavender offers a calming experience. Mulberry leaves, known for their role as silkworm feed, exude a gentle green tea-like fragrance, while Lavender, often referred to as the 'queen of herbs', captivates with its sharp yet warm aroma.
