I got hooked on the cold brew iced tea. It's easy to make and comes in various delicious flavors. The new pot is a great addition and I can see it being very useful this summer. I especially love the tropical fruit flavor and would even buy it separately! I enjoy it every day.

I also enjoy drinking hot tea, but I was eagerly waiting for the water-infused tea! I purchased flavors like melon, peach, and tropical, and they came with a cute jug featuring a rabbit design. The tea is delicious and I look forward to enjoying it for a while!

I purchased this great set of water brew iced tea that I had always wanted to try! By signing up as a member, I received 5 points for tea bags, so my collection of tea suddenly increased. Since I am working remotely and spending more time at home now, having plenty of tea is much appreciated. The iced teas, white peach roasted tea and pineapple tea, are both refreshing and easy to drink. I chill them every night and they come in handy for the next day. When they run out, I will definitely go buy more!

This is a review of a tea specialty store in Kichijoji, located on the underground floor of Yurakucho ITOCiA. I ran out of tea at home, so I stopped by while visiting Ginza. Among the many varieties of tea lined up, I chose "British Morning" in a blue tin featuring Paddington Bear. This product, a blend of Sri Lankan Luffa and Darjeeling, was re-blended by the owner and tea blender, Shiko Yamada, for the 30th anniversary since the establishment in 1989. It costs around 1,500 yen for 8 tea bags in one can. When I tried it straight at home, it had a lovely aroma typical of Darjeeling and a robust flavor that seemed to come from Luffa, creating a delicious blend. I used to think that I only liked straight Darjeeling tea, but my perception has changed a bit. I used to feel a bit unsatisfied with just one tea bag per cup, but this tea has a strong flavor that provides a decent level of satisfaction even with just one bag. I am now interested in trying out other blends.

I visited again because I really liked the herbal tea I purchased before. They had three caffeine-free options for cold brew: Refreshing Green, Beauty Red, and Bright Blue Eye. I bought the following items: - Cold Brew Herb Refreshing Green ¥1000 - Cold Brew Herb Bright Blue Eye ¥1000 [Bright Blue Eye] Based on butterfly pea, blended with apple, echinacea, bilberry, and eyebright. I first encountered butterfly pea in Thailand during this year's Golden Week. I developed an attachment to this herb after enjoying butterfly pea tea and sweets at Tsubakiyama-sō Le Jardin's afternoon tea. The Bright Blue Eye tea I tried here recently was also delightful. The vivid deep blue color is striking, with a smooth taste and a hint of berry acidity. The sweet aroma of apple is also lovely. [Refreshing Green] Based on lemongrass, blended with nettle and elderflower. The refreshing Green combines the crispness of lemongrass with the soft sweetness reminiscent of fruit from nettle and elderflower. Following my love for Bright Blue Eye, Refreshing Green was also a big hit. It's convenient to simply add it to cold water and store it in the fridge for a refreshing drink anytime. I'll continue to visit for non-caffeinated teas. Thank you for the delicious meal!

When you go to Yurakucho, this place is a classic. You'll be drawn in by the cute illustrations, warmed by the service of the staff, and soothed by the tasting of the tea. You can feel the owner, Mr. Yamada's policy. Today is just a little something for someone retiring. This place, you see. The packaging is cute, but the taste is solid. It pleases the eyes and the mouth. And the biscuits are delicious too. It's a bit pricey, but that's why it's perfect for giving as a gift. That being said, I ended up buying cold-brewed tea for home use. Looking forward to it. The culture of tea may seem contradictory in this busy modern world, but that's why it's important to keep spreading it.

This is a cute tea shop located in Itoshia B1. The interior of the shop has a fairy tale-like atmosphere, with adorable tea packages on display. The tea bags are illustrated with animals and characters in a crayon-like style, which is soothing even before you drink the tea. I tried a sample of their tea and it was delicious! I ended up buying 5 tea bags, including the one I tried. You can choose any 5 tea bags for 640 yen. The shop also offers cute shopping bags and shop cards. They have non-caffeine tea bags and cookies, making it a great place for gifts.

After having lunch at the food court on the basement floor of Yurakucho ITOCIA, I saw some cute teas lined up and the lady there offered me a sample. There was no reason to refuse, so I took a sip. It was a nice flavored tea with a pleasant aroma. In this situation, I felt like I had to buy at least one before leaving. So, since it was close to Christmas, I purchased the Merry Christmas Tea 80g (1,728 yen). They also gave me a complimentary tea bag of the same kind. It's a Ceylon Dimbula tea with bright red safflowers mixed in. It's an orange and cinnamon flavored tea, symbolizing the "light" and "shepherd's crook" of Christmas. I use it as my daily office drink. The key to the taste is the amount of water and steeping time. For a straight tea, use 150ml of water and steep for 4 minutes. It has a fruity aroma that is very comforting. But even after Christmas is over, I still haven't finished drinking it. (^^ゞ

There is a tea shop in the commercial facility located near Yurakucho Station, inside ITOCIA. While looking for cookies for gifts, I came across a smiley face cookie and tried a sample of Juicy Pineapple iced tea. It was a carbonated tea, which was quite unusual. It had a fizzy texture, but not too strong. The sweetness of the pineapple was prominent, with not much of a tea element. It felt like a refreshing pineapple juice with a mild sweetness. The cookies were cute and tasted delicious.

I bought Sakura Darjeeling. The faint scent of cherry blossoms adds a nice touch, making it very delicious. It's great both straight and with milk, so I enjoy the first cup straight and the second with milk. I might try making it as cold brew soon. For now, I'll go buy some more (^^)

I don't remember exactly when I first encountered the tea at this place, but I really like it and often buy it. The shop is conveniently located for me, so I visit it frequently. It is located in the Marui department store underground in front of Yurakucho Station, across from Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. Although it is a tea specialty store, the packaging illustrations are very cute and are also available on items like plates and other goods. The goods are cute, but they seem to be quite pricey. The tea comes in cans, packs, and tea bags. Depending on the type of tea, some are available and some are not. I think the cans are good for gifts, but for drinking at home, I prefer to buy the packs as they contain double the amount for the same price (around 1300 yen). The tea bags are for pots, and you can drink 2-3 cups from one bag, with 8-10 bags in a pack for 945 yen, which I also like. Of course, they have classic teas and herbal teas, but the flavored teas are delicious here. They change flavors according to the season, but my favorites are Lemon Ginger Tea and Fruity Rooibos. I also really liked the Earl Grey tea with its fruity aroma. The most popular one here is probably the Girls' Tea. It's a tea that will make you happy with its strawberry scent, and I like it so much that I always have it in stock. When it comes to tea, I love Marco Polo from Mariage Freres, Eros, and Darjeeling from Fortnum & Mason. The tea here is not as soft as Mariage Freres, nor as strong as Fortnum & Mason, it has a casual feel to it. It's hard to explain, but I like the casual aspect in a good way. Since I like to drink different teas depending on my mood, I can't decide which one is the best, but for tea lovers, I think it's worth trying without being swayed by the illustrations. Sometimes they offer tea samples in the store. They often offer Girls' Tea, so trying it to see if it suits your taste is a good idea.

This is a tea specialty store in Yurakucho ITOCiA. I had always been curious about it, but had never gone in before, so today I had some time to spare and decided to check it out. It's a small shop, but they have a variety of different types of tea on display. The illustrations on the tea cans are like something out of a picture book, very unique. When I asked the staff, they told me that the shop is run by a picture book artist, which makes sense. In addition to tea, they also have cookies, picture books, postcards, and other items for sale in the store. After much deliberation, I ended up buying a can of Karel Capek Milk tea (¥1208), which I was told is perfect for making milk tea. ^^

First, I was drawn to the package design. The cute illustrations of gentle and colorful animals are so charming that any woman would want to pick it up. The design is friendly and likely to be loved by children to grandmothers. I tried the tea bag assortment, which includes various types of black tea and herbal tea. The whimsical names of each tea make me feel relaxed even before drinking. The teas are delicious and the blends are exquisite. It seems like it would be a hit for various gifts, and I believe no one would be unhappy to receive this as a gift.

Fruit Party - 1296 yen. On hot days, I like to have something other than water in the refrigerator. Lately, I always have cold brew coffee or cold brew tea ready. I want to introduce the tea that has been working well in the refrigerator recently. Taking advantage of the summer gourmet fair at Yurakucho ITOCiA from July 14th to August 27th, I purchased a summer-like cold brew tea. It's from Karel Capek Tea Shop's cold brew series. Among them, I chose the vibrant and pale red colored Fruit Party flavor. Each pack contains 8 tea bags. I put one tea bag in a tumbler, add water, and let it chill in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, a beautiful red-colored iced tea is ready. It is packed with hibiscus, rose hip, rooibos, strawberry, kiwi, apple, and plenty of herb extracts that are beneficial for beauty. The passion fruit and rose scent is sweet and refreshing. The refreshing taste is perfect for hot days. Despite the sweet aroma, it has a refreshing and clean aftertaste. The fruity acidity is also pleasant. It goes well not only with sweet desserts but also with bitter chocolates. It's also great to enjoy it mixed with carbonated drinks or alcohol. It's delicious and beautiful, the ultimate combination. I felt the deliciousness of the tea leaves' bitterness and refreshingness. Karel Capek Tea Shop is truly amazing! There are a total of 8 flavors in the cold brew series, so I definitely want to try other flavors. Thank you for the meal.

I love specialty tea shops. I prefer Chinese and Japanese teas, but recently I've been into black tea. I haven't been to many places yet, just The Tee Tokyo in Kagurazaka and Kan Daizuato for dessert. Today, I bought a gift for a friend here. Lately, I've been buying gifts a lot. I received a Conan-themed black tea and mug from here the other day. Not only does the color of the black tea change, but the taste is also delicious, and the packaging is amazing, so I had to go buy some. They sell black tea tea bags individually, so you can choose your favorites. You can also choose from various cans or cases to match the quantity, and they are all so cute. By registering on the app, you can get tea bags as a bonus, so I got a lot. The prices are reasonable, and if you like cute things, anyone would get hooked. Highly recommended.

I received a cute assortment of tea with a pouch. Cute. I wonder what I should put in the pouch. When should I drink this tea? It's winter today, but it's raining and it might snow again. Maybe tea while looking at the sky would be nice.

In June 2018, I received this gift from a friend as a congratulatory gift for giving birth. The package design is very cute and I was excited to open it. As it is a tea specialty store, I was reassured about the taste. I tried the pudding and these two adorable sweets right away. They were enjoyed with British Morning tea. The tea has a smooth taste. The one with blueberry sauce had a fluffy texture, while the orange one had a crispy tart crust. Both had their own deliciousness and were very tasty. ◎

I received a farewell gift from a colleague and decided to give a tea gift set that offers a variety of flavors for my return gift. I have purchased Karel Čapek tea before for gifts because of its good aroma and wide variety of options for relaxation and mood enhancement. This time, I chose a set of 5 flavors with a hint of Sakura Ceylon for gifting, with a word of thanks added to the label. Then, on another day, I unexpectedly received a peach tea gift set from another male colleague, also from Karel Čapek. The packaging is cute and perfect for gifts! When I visited in early March, they had a collaboration with Detective Conan, offering tea packs and canned teas featuring Kaito Kid. The teapots and tea cans had adorable designs that would be perfect for tea time.
