==&Here TOKYO UENO Original Blend Tea Overview==

Period: Saturday, March 15, 2025 ~

Location: &Here TOKYO UENO lobby

The first 200 room who stayed on the opening day (3/15) will receive tea leaves (1 bag: 15 grams) as a gift

=======================

The original blend tea is a tea that has been spun by the techniques of tea masters cultivated over many years, rooted in the rich surface soil of Gakinan under the wind of the majestic Mt. Fuji.

~ Thoughts put into tea master Shigebei Honda~

& HereWe made it while thinking about the feeling that guests who stay at Here will have when they see the lotus blooming Ninja Pond. The lotus flower floats on the surface of the water. When I drank this tea, my mind and body floated softly, and I thought that if I could feel as if I was freed from something, it would be an experience that can only be done at &Here. Based on Japan tea, with an awareness of Japan characteristics, lotus leaves and other materials are combined, and chrysanthemum flowers are also used to visually feel the East. For customers who take home tea leaves, I would like everyone to share the tea made in the teapot with everyone. At that time, if you can drink while talking about your memories of your trip, I will be very happy as a tea master.
