Japanese Longevity

Format and Packaging

This blend is sold as loose botanical material by weight — a 4.4 oz bag rather than a count of individual teabags — the same packaging approach used across DelmarTe's Happiness Ritual line generally.

As with any new botanical blend, a healthcare provider is the right person to ask first for anyone pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or managing a health condition.

How to Brew

As a loose botanical blend, it follows the same general brewing approach as the rest of DelmarTe's Happiness Ritual collection — a longer steep at a fuller boil than a delicate tea leaf would need.

Parameter	Guidance
Water temperature	208–212°F (98–100°C), just off a full boil
Leaf dose	1–2 tsp per 8 oz cup
Steep time	5–7 minutes

Strain fully once the steep time is up.

Did You Know

• Words for "tea" fall into two families worldwide, and Japan uses one of them. Depending on which historic trade route a language borrowed the word through, "tea" words worldwide split into a "te" family (English tea, from a Chinese port-trade term) and a "cha" family, spread overland — Japanese ocha belongs to the cha family, the same branch as Mandarin, Korean, and several Central Asian languages.

• DelmarTe's Happiness Ritual blends are usually named for a mood, not an ingredient list. Across the collection, names like Nirvana or Elexir of Eden describe a feeling or a moment rather than what's actually in the tin — a naming style distinct from how DABOV names its single-origin true teas after their actual growing region or cultivar.

• There's no teabag count printed anywhere on this package — just a weight. Like most of DelmarTe's Happiness Ritual line, it's priced and portioned the way a spice-rack jar would be, letting each drinker measure out however much or little they want per cup, rather than committing to whatever a manufacturer decided one bag should hold.

What is Japanese Longevity tea?

It's a botanical blend from DelmarTe's Happiness Ritual collection, sold as loose material in a 4.4 oz bag.

How is this different from Longevity Herbal Tea?

They're two distinct products in the same Happiness Ritual collection, each sold in its own size — sharing a naming theme doesn't make them the same blend.

How should I brew it?

Give it water just off a full boil — 208–212°F (98–100°C) — about 1–2 teaspoons per 8 oz cup, and 5–7 minutes before straining.

Why is it called "Japanese Longevity"?

Like other names across DelmarTe's Happiness Ritual collection, it's meant to evoke a mood rather than describe a specific effect or ingredient.
