Kyoto, Japan - A world-class tea specialty store: Lupicia

#Lupicia is a well-known Japanese tea specialty store with branches all over the world. There are three stores in Kyoto alone. The store we visited is located in Teramachi-dori Shopping Street. The space inside the store is very deep, and the decoration style is very similar to Eslite or Tsutaya Bookstore. A large number of wooden pedestals are used to make the tea display very textured. There are hundreds of types of tea here, from common green tea, black tea, Japanese sencha, scented tea, fruit tea, matcha, to Taiwanese oolong tea, Darjeeling black tea, new tea, etc., almost covering tea from all over the world. Each tea is displayed and introduced in an iron box, which can be opened for tasting. You can also choose loose tea bags, tea cans, tea bags, etc. for packaging. Once you choose, tell the clerk and he will package it for you. It is very considerate. Under the introduction of the store clerk, I smelled the fruit tea of ​​the summer cold brew tea series. The aroma of the white peach sencha was so strong that it smelled like drinking sweet white peach juice. The other champagne white grape green tea was not much different, with the sweetness of Japan's top grapes! And a small bag of tea bags can be brewed into a large pot, which is really a good way to cool down in summer. By the way, I recommend a few specialty stores in #Teramachi-dori Shopping Street. There are many well-known old shops of craftsmen, unique groceries and vintage stores, such as #Kyujudo, which specializes in postcards, #Kameya Ryosei's Oike pancakes, Gandang Tea House #Plum Garden, stationery specialty store #Rakusuido, ancient books of out-of-print books #Zhubao Book House, Sukiyaki famous store #Mishima-tei, etc. It is quite unique and fun to visit without worrying about rain.
