Japanese People Don't Always Drink Matcha

Overseas, people often picture Japanese folks constantly sipping matcha,

but in reality, that's hardly ever the case.

Sure, matcha is enjoyed on special occasions, but usually, we drink regular green tea.

Back in the day, many households brewed tea using a kyusu (a traditional Japanese teapot),

and some still do, but these days, bottled tea is just so convenient and easy to grab.

Whether you hit a convenience store or a supermarket, you'll find an aisle full of all kinds of tea.
