Some of you may be thinking, "I haven't yet sent out my mid-winter greetings to the people who sent me New Year's cards."
Goencha offers chayori, postcards containing tea bags.
There are also lots of winter greeting card designs.
A mid-winter greeting card made of nandina with red polka dots.
Nanten is also popular as a lucky charm, as it is said to ``turn away difficulties.''
Inside are two Japanese black tea bags.
The camellia pattern has a cute, slightly retro feel.
This is a box of two roasted green tea tea bags.
There is also an adorable cat snuggling up in a kotatsu and a snowman enjoying the snow.
The cat is brown rice tea, and the snowman is 2 gyokuro tea bags.
We also have a pattern of this year's zodiac sign, the snake.
All of these lovely patterns promise a happy year. Why not send a lovely midwinter greeting card, complete with delicious tea, that will warm both the body and the heart?
