What is Japan's traditional color "loquat tea"?
Loquat, known as an evergreen tree belonging to the rose family, has long been called the ``great medicine tree'' and is a naturalized plant that grows naturally in Shikoku and Kyushu in Japan. It is said to have been used in folk medicine and Chinese medicine, such as being dried and drunk as loquat tea, or as a herbal medicine applied directly to the affected area. The dull yellow-brown color of this ripe loquat fruit is loquat tea, and it is also written in the late Edo period's ``Tekan Design Festival''.
