JING TEA

On April 15th, I became a mom. My boy came out two weeks past from due date which was April 1st.  Now he became 1 month and one week old. He is perfectly healthy.
First one month went by so fast. I can't believe that I spend more than one month with him already.

OK, now, the reason why 1st month goes so fast is, of course, there are a lot of things to do. Not just  taking care of baby, but to think and order for the present to the person who gave us a present as baby gifts. In Japan, it is a unsaid rule to give back the gift as in about half price of the gift we got. This custom was the hardest part  for me because  we have to find out the price of the gift and look for something that present giver might like. There are so many variety of people in present givers like friends around my age, couple, single, elderly people, younger people and so on. Everybody likes/needs different stuff.

The hardest part of this hardest custom is to think of what to give for whom I don't know well. A lady from my work send me a really nice baby gift. I know she is really picky and likes to judge and review everything especially foods and sweets. And I wasn't sure what she really likes. So I thought, and thought and thought... several days... and good idea hit me.

The tea in my cupboard.
JING TEA.



It has great package design and tastes really good. I think my husband got this from his friend who works at some noble hotel. My favorite is lemongrass tea. It smells so good!! So as soon as I decide to send this as a return gift, I searched the web. But only a few shop has this products in Japan. It must be rare.

Here is the site.

Order system is a little complicated because it goes to another site to check out, but it will be OK if you understand Japanese.

I'm not sure where to get it at actual shop. I wish these are available at TAKASHIMAYA or SOGO...  Costs little higher than usual tea but it worth it. I strongly recommend this.
