【Seasonal Blend 2026】May | Asanoha Blend (麻の葉)

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.

May【Asanoha 麻の葉】

May in Japan, when fresh greenery shines in vivid color. 
A season when gentle breezes and warm sunlight invite
both body and mind to stretch and grow with ease.

“Asanoha” is a traditional pattern inspired by hemp leaves,
known for growing straight and strong.
Its structured, geometric form carries a wish:
“May you grow healthy, and with ease.”

This Asanoha Blend opens with a crisp,
refreshing impression of green apple and pear,
layered with the juicy brightness and gentle sweetness of grapefruit.

The result is a light, clean cup that settles naturally into the early summer air.

As new life begins to unfold, 
we hope you enjoy this cup alongside the season.

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.
