| Koohii Story 1 | Some people think drinking tea is boring and quaint. That´s why I spice mine up by adding a cocktail umbrella, which of course is made from a wood-en toothpick supporting a paper umbrella with flowers printed on top. |
| Koohii Story 2 | When I drink herbal tea I like to drink it under a parasol. If it´s too hot I go "ho, ho, ho !!" (katakana ホ). |
