I bought some easy-to-make green tea as a gift at Kyoto Isetan. Towards the end of my trip in Kansai in early April, I wanted to give something to my boss who loves spicy food and is moving to another office. I was unsure about giving sweet Japanese sweets as I wasn't sure if they would like it, and giving alcohol during work hours seemed inappropriate. Then, I found this section of the store which was a well-known tea specialty shop recommended by a friend who practices tea ceremony. I saw a boxed tea with droplet-shaped packets and decided to buy it as it seemed like an easy way to enjoy tea. I bought two, one for the gift and one for myself, and before giving it away, I opened it to try it out. The product was Drip Tea Bags - Sencha (6 bags for 1,200 yen). The tea bags are not like typical tea bags, but more like coffee drip bags where the top is open for pouring hot water. According to the staff, you can extract the tea up to three times. The first extraction had a strong green tea aroma, which intensified with the heat. The color was a beautiful strong green. The taste was mainly the aroma. The second extraction had the leaves expanding, and the color turned more yellow. The taste was sweeter and stronger. The final third extraction had a lighter color, aroma, and taste compared to the first two, but still had a decent impact similar to store-bought tea. The 2,222nd review is posted by the user who registered the store. This tea makes for a convenient Kyoto souvenir to enjoy at home. Thank you for the meal.
