I came to "Namba Parks" to buy a stylish bag, but ended up buying tea instead. The shop had a beautiful decoration and neatly displayed tea leaves, making it very inviting and attractive. You could sample the aroma of most tea leaves. The staff, even though there was only one person, provided a calm and attentive service. The store had a variety of teas, including seasonal new teas like Darjeeling First Flush. I decided to try the "Darjeeling First Flush Premium 2013" blend. There are many recommended tea estates in Darjeeling, each with its unique flavor profile. The tea had a rich and balanced flavor with hints of fruit and floral notes. I brewed it in a pot with a slightly higher amount of tea leaves for a more robust taste. The tea had a rich and elegant aroma with a balance of sweetness and astringency. It was a delicious and cost-effective choice. I look forward to visiting the store again for the next harvest.

I found this while buying a gift for a new baby - "ORZO" sold by "Lupicia". It's an Italian flavored barley tea. It's caffeine-free so even kids can enjoy it. You can even add milk to it. I bought the "Strawberry" flavor to enjoy with my daughter. There are a total of 4 flavors to enjoy. I regularly visit the store to check out new products and try samples. They have a variety of canned options with beautiful labels, perfect for gifts, thank you gifts, or bridal occasions.

This is my favorite store! Whenever I go in, they always let me try samples. This time, they let us try two different kinds, maybe because we reacted well. My companion loves flavored tea even more than I do, so she is very knowledgeable and I can rely on her. We tried several teas based on the recommendations of the staff and my companion, and ended up buying a sweet-smelling rooibos tea with a berry base and a strawberry-based black tea. I struggled between loose leaf tea and tea bags, but eventually chose a pack of 5 tea bags. If you put them in water and leave them in the fridge overnight, you'll have a delicious iced tea in the morning. It's so refreshing and comforting to drink it for hydration in the summer. The power of tea is amazing! This store has a variety of teas like green tea, black tea, herbal tea, and more, making it hard to choose. The staff is always friendly and being in the store alone is soothing. I can't wait to see what I'll buy next!

I always make sure to have a stock of black tea for both home tea time and guest tea. Even though I prefer coffee, I love this place. They have a variety of tea leaves from traditional to flavored ones like cookie, wedding, vanilla, and premium white peach oolong for iced tea. The white peach oolong is especially delicious when brewed cold for summer. You can also make delicious cold-brewed black tea by simply leaving the tea leaves in water. The staff is helpful in recommending tea leaves that go well with milk tea or iced tea, and they offer samples for tasting. They also provide advice on how to brew each tea for the best flavor. I keep coming back whenever my stock runs out. The limited edition flavors from Hawaii are also delicious!

When I went shopping at Parks, my tea-loving friend said she wanted to go buy some tea, so I went in for the first time. I usually drink cheap tea bags and can't drink it without lots of milk, so I didn't even know there was a shop like this at Parks. The rows of cans with tea samples lined up are quite impressive. There are so many types of tea that while my friend was looking around, I was also opening lids and sniffing the scents. I felt like getting something, and ended up buying a flavored tea called "cookie" that was said to go well with milk. It's a tea that is supposed to taste like cookies, and has a sweet aroma. It's nice to try this kind of tea once in a while. Indeed, this shop is a tea lover's paradise. They not only have black tea but also a few types of Chinese tea. I prefer Chinese tea, so I was interested in the "white peach oolong." I'm thinking of buying it next time I go.

The Namba Parks store is my favorite among all the Lupicia stores, and I visit it the most often. It's like a dream with so many different kinds of tea, Japanese tea, and more piled up. I wonder how long it would take to smell them all... (laughs) You can also try samples. My recent favorite is Rakuen. Just the smell alone helps me relieve stress. The staff usually consists of two people, and they are always willing to offer samples in a pleasant manner. If you're going to drink it iced, I also like Muscat. They will teach you the best way to enjoy it.

I quickly went in, bought what I needed, and left promptly, but the staff at the store were very kind.
