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.

January – Matsuba Shippo (Pine Needle & Seven Treasures)

January marks the beginning of a new year.

It’s a month when we gather with family and loved ones,

and quietly reaffirm our hopes and resolutions for the year ahead.

Matsuba Shippo pattern combines two motifs:

pine needles, which stay vibrantly green even in winter and symbolize long life,

and shippo (seven treasures), a classic auspicious pattern of endlessly linked circles

that expresses wishes for good relationships, harmony, and prosperity.

It carries the hope that

“we will stay healthy this year, and that good connections will spread out in ever

widening circles.”

Matsuba Shippo Blend layers a gentle hazelnut-like aroma,

reminiscent of the dignified presence of pine,

with a sweetness that echoes the sense of excitement at the start of the year.

Please take your time and enjoy it as your first cup of the year,

while reflecting on the thoughts and wishes you hold for the days to come.

SEASONAL BLEND 2026
Traditional 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.
