Description

Traditional Patterns for Savoring Japan’s Four Seasons For LiLo’s Seasonal Blend 2026, we draw inspiration from beautiful Japanese traditional patterns to offer special moments where you can savor the “now” through coffee. July【Asobi-Chidori 遊千鳥】 July in Japan brings bright sunshine and clear blue skies. The beginning of summer is a season that makes the heart feel lighter and more carefree. Chidori is a traditional Japanese pattern depicting small birds flying freely together. Because they are often shown soaring over waves, the motif has long been regarded as a symbol of good fortune. With this blend, we hoped to capture the joy of discovering new adventures and making the most of summer's simple pleasures. Asobi Chidori Blend opens with vibrant notes of grapefruit, Amanatsu, and lemon peel, bursting with bright citrus character. A refreshing orange soda-like finish lingers pleasantly on the palate, creating a lively and uplifting cup. Especially delicious as an iced coffee or cold brew, this light-hearted and playful blend is made for the height of summer. 【Cupping Comment】 ① Bursting notes of grapefruit, Amanatsu, and lemon peel. ② A subtle passion fruit flavor. ③ A crisp, refreshing orange soda finish. SEASONAL BLEND 2026Traditional Patterns for Savoring Japan’s Four Seasons Flowers and greenery, the murmur of rivers, and soft moonlight. For generations, people in Japan have lived closely with nature, gently scooping up seasonal motifs and weaving them into daily life as patterns on kimono, obi sashes, furnishings, and small accessories. “May our loved ones stay well.” “May good relationships continue to grow.” “May we celebrate new beginnings.” Each traditional pattern carries not only the emotions of the four seasons, but also the quiet wishes and prayers of the Japanese people. As SEASONAL BLEND enters its 6th year in 2026, we will be delivering a special coffee each month that reflects the “now” of Japan, all inspired by beautiful traditional patterns.
