For Tasty Cold Brew Drinks! Stylish Tumblers, Coffee Makers, and More

With air temperatures rising, summer is the season when you'll probably want to have your morning cup of tea or coffee ice cold. Japan has fully embraced this way of enjoying tea and coffee in the summer and has a number of stylish products to help you out with your cold brews.

The five types of products introduced below will help you brew and bottle your favorite iced drinks for the hot summer days.

1. Cold Brew Coffee Makers

Cold brew coffee is one of the real delights of summer. With less of a bitter taste than regularly brewed coffee, it is a light and refreshing way to start your morning or relax in the afternoon.

On the other hand, the Hario Filter-In Coffee Bottle combines convenience, form, and function into a stylish and sturdy bottle.

2. Tumblers for Taking Cold Brew Drinks on the Road

Japan has a great selection of tumblers for keeping your beverages cool on a commute. Usually made from stainless steel, they come in a variety of sizes to suit anyone’s tastes and preferences.

The Mottego mug tumbler is a two-way tumbler that works perfectly well holding your beverage, as well as holding the iced coffee cup you get from the convenience store.

Another stylish option is this tumbler with lid from BOTTLE BOTTLE that is perfect for keeping your summer drinks cool while you relax at home. The beautiful pastel colors make for a nice decorative but functional container.

3. Just Add Water! Cold Brew Powder Coffee

The powdered teas and coffees known as “mizudashi” in Japanese are perfect for summer! Whether you’re brewing in a large bottle or making a single cup for yourself, you can‘t go wrong.

The mizudashi powder coffee from Key Coffee has a pleasant aroma and a refreshing taste. Brewing it is as simple as placing the coffee into a cold brewer (like the ones featured above); you'll be enjoying excellent ice coffee minus the plastic waste of buying it from the convenience store or supermarket.

4. Tea Packs: For Loose Leaf and Powdered Coffee

Tea packs come in handy when you want to brew your own loose leaf tea. Just pop in your favorite loose leaf tea and enjoy hot or cold.

Leaf tea packs have become such a staple in Japan that you can find them at any supermarket or convenience store. But if you're looking to buy them for friends and family living further afield, we recommend buying them from Amazon.

5. Use a Cocktail Shaker for Your Cold Brew!

When you prepare your iced coffee in a cocktail shaker, four beautiful things happen: the mixing of the sweeteners, the creation of a foamy texture, the quick chilling of your favorite drink, and an overwhelming feeling of fun!

The Lucky Style Cocktail Shaker set not only helps you make tasty cocktails but also enriches your cold brew coffee experience. Imagine having a cup of your favorite drink chilled to perfection with a light and airy texture and made to the exact sweetness you were looking for!

Take your cold brew drink experience to the next level with the Japanese tools and products introduced above! We hope summer will become even more enjoyable with the delicious cold brew beverages you make yourself.
