Halloween & Japanese Tea　Enjoy a Touch of Autumn the Japanese Way

Halloween is just around the corner.
The decorations on the streets really get you in the mood.

This year, why not bring that festive feeling to your tea time?
Japanese tea pairs beautifully with classic Halloween sweets—chocolate, pumpkin, and sweet potato. Its gentle flavor enhances the richness of autumn treats without overpowering them.

First, try Hōjicha, a roasted green tea with a toasty, soothing aroma.
Its light flavor balances the sweetness of pumpkin pie, caramel, or chocolate cookies. Whether served hot or iced, Hōjicha is delightful—and with a splash of milk, it becomes a “Hōjicha latte,” like a dessert in a cup. Low in caffeine, it’s perfect for relaxing on autumn nights.

Next, discover Wakōcha, Japanese black tea.
With its elegant fragrance and mild tannins, it pairs wonderfully with sweet potato tarts and apple desserts. Its refined yet familiar taste also fits perfectly into modern, international-style Halloween tea parties.

If you’d like to add a visual twist, explore teas that capture Halloween colors.
For warm orange hues, Hōjicha and Wakōcha glow like candlelight in a dark room.
For a mysterious purple tone, try creative blends like Butterfly Pea × Sencha or Shiso tea. When brewed, Butterfly Pea and Sencha blend into a vivid indigo purple—and with a few drops of lemon, it magically turns pink. A perfect “witch’s potion” for your Halloween table!

Complete the mood with thoughtful table décor: black teacups, lacquerware trays, and pumpkin candles can transform your tea setting into a beautiful fusion of Japanese tradition and Halloween charm.

This Halloween, enjoy a quiet, magical night with Japanese tea and sweets.
In every sip and color, you’ll feel the gentle rhythm of autumn’s night.
