Of the many gifts available, there is a special reason why tea, which has been an integral part of Japanese life since ancient times, is chosen. Here, we would like to introduce the meaning behind why tea is a popular gift for warding off evil spirits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>The main reasons why tea is considered a lucky charm<\/th><th>The meaning and origin<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Protection from misfortune and disaster<\/td><td>As the proverb goes, \"Drink tea in the morning even if you have to travel seven miles,\" drinking tea in the morning has long been considered a custom to ward off evil spirits and ward off misfortune. It is believed that the pure aroma of tea calms the mind and body and wards off misfortune for the day.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Good health and longevity<\/td><td>It comes from the history of \"Daifuku Tea,\" which is said to have quelled epidemics, and the word \"Chaju,\" which celebrates longevity.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Prosperity of the family and good fortune<\/td><td>A tea stem standing is considered to be an auspicious sign that the family will prosper.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_even_in_the_proverb_The_origin_of_warding_off_evil_spirits\"><\/span>It&#8217;s even in the proverb! The origin of warding off evil spirits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goencha.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/34094158_m-1024x683-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8253\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past, mornings were considered an important time that determined one's luck for the day, and it was believed that drinking hot tea would purify the body and regulate the stomach and intestines, thereby warding off evil spirits and illness. It was said that drinking tea in the morning before setting out on a journey would ensure safety on the journey, and it was so important that it was said, \"Even if you have traveled seven ri (approximately 28 km), if you forget to drink tea, you should go back and drink it again.\" This proverb is not only a healthy habit, but is also said to have originated as a good luck charm and wisdom for warding off misfortune by purifying the mind and body and avoiding misfortune for the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_wish_for_good_health_and_safety_infused_into_tea\"><\/span>The wish for good health and safety infused into tea<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"782\" src=\"https:\/\/goencha.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/4344229_m-1024x782-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8254\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Tea has a long history of being drunk as a medicine. During the Heian period, when an epidemic broke out in the capital, a monk named Kuya served people tea with pickled plums in it, and it is said that the epidemic subsided. Inspired by this story, the emperor of the time began drinking tea on New Year's Day, which marked the beginning of \"Obukucha.\" Daifukucha is imbued with the wish for good health and prosperity throughout the year, and this custom continues to this day as a lucky charm for the New Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the celebration of turning 108 years old (according to the traditional Japanese age reckoning system) is called \"Chaju,\" which shows the deep connection between tea and longevity. In this way, giving tea as a gift is a heartwarming message of wishing the recipient good health and a long life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CTea_leaves_standing_up%E2%80%9D_is_considered_to_be_a_good_omen\"><\/span>&#8220;Tea leaves standing up&#8221; is considered to be a good omen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goencha.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/33654498_m-1024x683-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8255\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have heard the saying, \"Good things will happen if the tea stems stand up.\" This phenomenon, where the tea stems float vertically when brewing tea, has long been considered a sign of good fortune. There are several reasons for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One is the idea that having a \"pillar standing\" like the \"main pillar\" that supports a house will lead to the prosperity of the house. Also, since the gods are counted as \"one pillar, two pillars\" (hitohashira, futahashira), it is believed that the gods will protect the tea pillar. With modern tea-making techniques and the structure of teapots, it is rare for a tea pillar to stand up, and because of its rarity, it is considered a symbol of good fortune. Tea is chosen as a gift, as it is thought to be like a talisman that wards off evil and brings good fortune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_choose_tea_as_a_gift_to_ward_off_evil_spirits\"><\/span>How to choose tea as a gift to ward off evil spirits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because you are giving a gift to a loved one to ward off evil spirits, you want to choose tea that will truly please them.

It has a long history of being used as a medicine, and its abundance of the health-giving compound catechin makes it the perfect gift for wishing for good health. It also makes a wonderful gift for wishing for longevity, as the phrase \"chaju\" (celebrating 108 years old) suggests. It conveys the warm sentiment of \"staying healthy and healthy for many years to come.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hojicha_A_soothing_gift_that_calms_the_soul\"><\/span>Hojicha: A soothing gift that calms the soul<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.goencha.com\/products\/houjicha_leaf_120g\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/goencha.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/houjicha_120g-1024x1024-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8263\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hojicha, made by roasting tea leaves, has a fragrant aroma that is its greatest appeal.
