GoodsFromJapan.com is now shipping its goods - most of them - with custom printed boxes made of recycled paper.
We had them made in Kyoto at a small mom-and-pop box printing ship - yes, they exist.
The lettering isn't quite as we imagined it (no fault of the printer), and perhaps a red FRAGILE will appear on the next group of 100 we order.
Until then, we hope you enjoy the new look - and please reuse the box!

Japanese green tea contains many nutrients beneficial to your well-being. Medical studies have found that drinking green tea can considerably reduce your risk of hardening of the arteries. It is suggested that drinking one cup of green tea a day can lower your risk by up to 96%.
Furthermore, drinking as many as 4-5 cups of green tea per day may also prevent skin cancer. Epigallocaechin, a polyphenol found in green tea, is linked to prevention of early stages of skin cancer. Laboratory studies have shown that polyphenols, can stop cancer cells from growing.
