Ocha

Is it due to age? I find myself enjoying tea more and more these days. As Ganma, Rie, and I were looking for a coffee shop to have our lunch in Omotesando, we ended up discovering this tea shop. Without hesistation, Rie insisted that we should go in. This tea shop only specializes in Japanese tea, which means (..if I remember correctly from the tea class I took last year..) all the tea leaves are heated by being lightly fried; where as for Chinese tea, such as Oolong, the tea leaves are not heated and are used after the fermented process ends. To accompany the tea, kuromitsu kuzukiri with sakura ice cream that is made with real sakura petals.
