Boarding-pass-shaped tea bags popular as promotional items at Kagoshima Airport Building; collaboration with local Imamura Tea Garden and designer from the prefecture

Kagoshima Airport Building is promoting local organic sencha via novelty boarding-pass-shaped tea bags containing a single packet of locally-produced leaf. The campaign pairs inbound tourism marketing with sales promotion for Kagoshima tea, Japan's largest raw-tea producer by volume. The initiative debuted at Roots Asia, an annual global aviation-industry trade show, and gained traction at last year's Perth venue.
